Liverpool did not get their Champions League off to a good start after drawing 2-2 at home to Sevilla but they have managed to rescue their campaign and now sit top of their group heading into this clash.
The Reds have the upper hand in this game but they need a win to scale through as group leaders.
On the other hand, they would need to lose 7-0 to Spartak Moscow before they would finish third.
