The Reds managed to edge out Brighton in the EFL Cup with a thrilling 3-2 victory, demonstrating their attacking prowess and resilience. Their trip to the Emirates saw them share the spoils with Arsenal in a 2-2 draw, a match that highlighted both their attacking capabilities and some defensive frailties.

In the Premier League, Liverpool's away form has been solid, with a narrow 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace and a hard-fought draw against the Gunners. These results underline their knack for picking up points away from Anfield, although they still need to iron out some defensive lapses. The Reds' ability to score crucial goals away from home, coupled with their occasional defensive lapses, paints a picture of a team that's potent in attack but still seeking consistency at the back.

Bayer Leverkusen Recent Performance
Bayer Leverkusen, or simply Leverkusen, have been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride in their recent away fixtures. The Werkself have shown resilience and a knack for snatching draws from the jaws of defeat, as seen in their 2-2 stalemates against both Werder Bremen and Holstein Kiel. However, their trip to Eintracht Frankfurt ended in a narrow 2-1 defeat, highlighting some defensive frailties that need addressing. Their Champions League outing against Stade Brest 29 also ended in a 1-1 draw, suggesting that while they can hold their own on foreign soil, converting these performances into victories remains a challenge. Offensively, Leverkusen have been consistent in finding the back of the net, but it's their defensive lapses that have cost them dearly in these away matches. The team seems to struggle with maintaining leads, often conceding late goals that turn potential wins into draws. This pattern indicates a need for greater defensive solidity and perhaps a more strategic approach in closing out games. As they continue their campaign, tightening up at the back could be the key to turning these hard-fought draws into crucial wins on the road.
