The capital giants finally won the Premier League for the first time in more than two decades, having previously finished runners-up three times. They also reached the Champions League final, where they lost to PSG only on penalties. After the summer break, they reshaped their squad and began with a commanding 3-0 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield, before continuing with victories in other competitions. Their only setback came just before the international break — a shocking 0-3 defeat to Brighton. After the season resumed, they beat Leeds 2-1, while a single point against Nottingham Forest was enough to secure another victory. In the Champions League, they thrashed Lille 3-0, while against Bayern they fought back to earn a draw away from home.
The club from Liverpool were recently battling relegation, but last season they were already viewed at the outset as contenders for European football. They eventually finished 13th with 49 points. This time, they have made a solid start, avoiding defeat both in the league and in the League Cup. Their only loss came against Chelsea in the most recent round — 0-2.
The reigning champions are typically pragmatic: they average just 1.57 goals scored and concede only 0.71 per match. Moyes' men have similar figures to their opponents, with 1.14 goals scored and one conceded per game.
