LASK vs Liverpool Preview: Reds Look for Champions League Response

After their first **EPL** defeat of the season to **Manchester City**, **Andoni Iraola** and Liverpool hope to right the ship in **Champions League** action vs. **LASK** on October 14th. 

The last time Liverpool lost 3-0 in the EPL at Anfield was to **Nottingham Forest** on November 22nd, 2025. The club is also dealing with a long list of [injuries](https://lfcglobe.co.uk/liverpool-fc-injury-list/) and suspensions. The **loss** to Man City is more understandable when you consider that **Alexander Isak**, **Dominik Szoboszlai,** and **Cody Gakpo** all missed the game due to injuries. Even so, the 3-0 loss drops Liverpool to 9th on the EPL table, so it’s even more important that the Reds get a win vs. LASK to stay competitive in the Champions League.

Liverpool and LASK played each other in the 23/24 Europa League competition. The Reds won both legs 4-0 and 3-1, respectively. This season, LASK is off to a strong start, sitting third in the Austrian Bundesliga. They are led in scoring by Christoph Lang, who has 5 goals in 8 league matches.

Liverpool named their 23-man traveling squad, but it is missing Szoboszlai, Gakpo, and Isak, which will hamper offensive production. The traveling party includes:

Alisson, Gomez, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez, Wirtz, Mac Allister, Tsimikas, Munoz, Mamardashvili, Woodman, Barcola, Frimpong, Araujo, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Chambers, McConnell, Koumas, Ngumoha, Danns, Sonni-Lambie, Lucky. 

Where is the scoring going to come from? That is the question Iraola has to answer. You can read more in our predicted lineup. Even with all that firepower missing, I think Liverpool squeaks by with a 2-1 win.

Do you think Liverpool will show a response after the loss to Man City? Drop a comment below.
