The defending champions head to Merseyside to face the Premier League leaders in a crunch clash on November 27 at Anfield.

Los Blancos returned to La Liga action this weekend with a dominant 3-0 win away to Leganes as attention now shifts to Liverpool.

Carlo Ancelotti offered a cryptic update in his post-match press conference as he stated that a fitness call is yet to be made on injured duo Lucas Vazquez and Aurelien Tchouameni.

The Uruguayan has again shown his quality and versatility and is ready to fill in if needed at Liverpool.

“During Covid-19, I played at the back against Liverpool and I was nervous, I think it will be more difficult this time, but I am prepared,” he said at full-time.

Valverde's confidence was also supported by Ancelotti who insisted that he has no problem keeping him in a cover role in such an important game.

“Valverde is a fantastic full back. I think that after Carvajal and Lucas he is the best full back in the world. His problem is that he can play like that in many positions and my problem is to choose his best for the team.”
