Leipzig already know what it is to go against two of the so-called “top 6” clubs in England, as they took down Tottenham last season at this very stage and this campaign, they snatched Manchester United’s spot for this round and sent the Red Devils to the Europa League.

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool: Storylines and Head-To-Head
Leipzig are one of the best teams in Germany now. They were one of the only two sides who won in the Bundesliga’s Matchday 21 and now are 5 points away from Bayern Munich, the current UCL winners and Bundesliga leaders. They are on a very good run and they’ll try to keep things that way against struggling Liverpool.
Liverpool are going through a very bad moment, unable to win in the Premier League in their last three matches, all bad losses against Brighton, Manchester City, and Leicester City, respectively. If they want to turn things around, this game is a very good chance, but they’ll have to face an inspired squad that doesn’t seem to be slowing down just yet.
This will be the first meeting between these two sides.
