How to watch Liverpool vs. Real Madrid in India: Live stream, TV ...

Unbeaten Liverpool will host shorthand Real Madrid in a Champions League clash on Thursday. 

The Reds enter this game on the back of a 5-game winning streak across all competitions. However, they will be up against a side that has been a thorn in Liverpool's side in the European competition. Their last 8 meeting in this competition have ended in Real Madrid's favor. 

Meanwhile, Real Madrid has been struggling with injuries. The biggest absentee from their traveling squad would be Vincius Jr. who has been sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Following two shocking losses against Lille and AC Milan in a 3-1, the 15-time European champions have slipped to 18th in the points table.

A loss at Anfield could further derail their hopes of securing a top 8 spot. 

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
