Liverpool resume their Champions League campaign with a home game against Serbian league leaders Red Star Belgrade. This game will be played at Anfield with no away crowd, due to ongoing issues.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were not at their best against Huddersfield on Saturday but got the job done with a 1-0 win. Mohamed Salah scored a great goal to end his short-term goal drought.
A two-legged tie with the Belgrade team is very important for the Reds. Win six points and they get ever so close to qualify for the knockout round for second successive season.
For that to happen, Liverpool have to sharpen their attack a bit more. Their defence has been terrific thus far, which a testament to the manager and the players involved.
As per the latest updates, Jordan Henderson, who went off at half-time complaining about a tight hamstring, will miss the clash. James Milner is fit to keep his place, while Sadio Mane is back in full training after an intense fitness test on Monday. Naby Keita is expected to be out for this week after injuring his hamstring last week playing for Guinea.
Here’s the expected lineup Klopp can field for this Wednesday night game:
