Default Liverpool confirm 21-man squad for Atletico Madrid match in Champions League

Liverpool have confirmed their travelling squad for the Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.

The Reds take on the Spanish side at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium tomorrow evening in an 8pm kick off.

And Jurgen Klopp has significant options at his disposal, with only Xherdan Shaqiri and long-term absentee Nathaniel Clyne ruled out from his senior squad.

Takumi Minamino has been named in the 21-man group jetting out for the match.

Young keeper Caoimhin Kelleher is also included along with Alisson and Adrian.

Full squad: Alisson, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Lovren, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Mane, Salah, Gomez, Adrian, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Lallana, Robertson, Origi, Matip, Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold.

The home side, in contrast, have a few injury concerns for the last-16 tie.

While Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata should be available for selection once again, Kieran Trippier and Joao Felix are set to miss out according to reports in the Spanish press.

Default How much Liverpool could earn from winning the Premier League



Liverpool's second place finish last season saw them earn more money from the Premier League than any other team, even title winners Manchester City.

The £152.4million scooped by Jurgen Klopp's side was just shy of £1.5million more than City, thanks to Liverpool's popularity with domestic broadcasters.

In a nutshell, the more times a team appears on a UK channel the more they earn, around £1.15million per game.

With 29 games broadcast live on UK TV from a possible 38, Liverpool banked £33.5million from the Premier League in so-called 'facility fees' - more than £3million more than City earned through this channel following 26 live games.

The most recent set of Premier League broadcasting rights for the three seasons 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 were worth around £8.5billion to the league and its member clubs.

Refreshing its broadcasting rights for the current three year cycle ending in 2022, the Premier League saw demand soar in overseas markets, helping offset lower value in the UK.

This has pushed the value to around £9.2billon, even as Amazon came aboard in the UK to make history as the first pure 'streaming service' to offer Premier League football.

Thanks to this, Liverpool look set to retain their title as the Premier League's highest earners as they end - by a virtual certainty - their 30-year wait for a first division championship.

What's more, Liverpool will also be the beneficiary of a new system for those more lucrative foreign broadcasting rights.

Non-UK revenue will this season be divided up on a new merit basis from this cycle, with teams at the top of the table - Liverpool chief among them - receiving a greater share on the back of greater interest from overseas broadcasters.

Previously, all 20 clubs received an equal share of the overseas broadcasting revenue; Liverpool, for example, earned the same £43.2million enjoyed by bottom of the table Huddersfield Town from International TV in 2018/19 - an equal share of a total pool worth £864million.

Given these factors - Liverpool's demand to be seen on TV, greater share of overseas rights, stable UK rights, guaranteed top two finish - Liverpool may well see earnings smash £175million this season, by a rough estimate.

Last season, Liverpool became the first UK clubs to break £250million in domestic broadcasting rights cash after winning the Champions League, on top of their strong league campaign.

With Champions League glory still on the table, the Reds could go even better this time around, helping fuel an interesting summer in the transfer market.

Default Other Premier League trophy Liverpool could lift this season



Liverpool are in line to receive a special golden Premier League trophy if they go unbeaten during the 2019/20 campaign, according to reports.

The Reds have dominated this season as they sit at the top of the league and 25 points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's men were favourites coming into the campaign after winning back to back titles but Liverpool have overwhelmed all of their rivals.

Jurgen Klopp's side have won 25 of 26 games to date and only drawn one, with that coming at Manchester United earlier this season.

It's highly likely that Liverpool end their 30-year wait for a domestic league title and now the big issue is whether they can emulate Arsenal's Invincibles of 2003/04.

MailOnline are now reporting that the Premier League have already held informal talks about how they will go about handling the situation if the Reds do pull off an unbeaten season.

It has been claimed that the Premier League are thinking about giving Liverpool a golden trophy.

Arsenal were afforded the same treatment after they lifted the title back in 2004 thanks to 26 wins and 12 draws.

Arsene Wenger ended up with the gong himself as a parting gift when he left the Gunners back in 2018.
