Liverpool vs AC Milan Score Prediction
Coming off a defeat against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool needs to react in this fixture against AC Milan. The loss at home was unacceptable, and a statement win is likely needed to dissipate the feelings of distress. However, Milan at the San Siro will not be an easy game by any means, even if the Rossoneri sit 10th in the Serie A table under new manager Paulo Fonseca. Final prediction: 1-1 draw with Luis Diaz scoring.
