The Reds now don’t have much time to rest after the game, however, with a testing trip to Atletico looming on Tuesday night.
Diego Simeone’s side will have a nice rest before the match, with it being confirmed [via Anfield Watch on Twitter] that their La Liga clash with Granada has been postponed, due to their players’ international commitments.
The reigning Spanish champions are in good form, winning three of their last four matches.
