Kick Off: 17:55.
Venue: Rajko Mitic Stadium.
TEAM NEWS
Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita returns to the squad for Tuesday's Champions League match at Red Star Belgrade having missed five games with a hamstring injury. Defender Dejan Lovren is also fit again, having missed last weekend's game against Arsenal.
Xherdan Shaqiri, Jordan Henderson and Nathaniel Clyne are not included.
Shaqiri is left behind in order to "avoid any distractions" that may be caused by his Albanian heritage. The 27-year-old is an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo, where a Serb crackdown on the Albanian population ended with Nato military intervention in 1999.
Fellow midfielder Henderson will work at Liverpool's Melwood training ground as he recovers from a hamstring issue, although he is expected to be fit for Sunday's Premier League home game against Fulham, and full-back Clyne is ill.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "We will take pretty much everyone. Clyney is ill and will not be involved, but Dejan and Naby are back in the travelling squad.
"Hendo was close, but not close enough. He needs two proper sessions for his fitness, which he will get at Melwood, with Shaqiri and hopefully Clyney if he is back from illness. They both should be fine for the weekend."
Liverpool XI: Alisson, TAA, Matip, VVD, Robertson, Milner, Wij, Lallana, Mane, Salah, Studge.

Well, if we’re out of the CL maybe that’s for the best. Opportunity to concentrate on securing Top 4 and getting to the FA Cup Semi’s

Not good enough for all the money you've spent if this happens

If you were anything other than a United fan you might have a point.

Can’t get any worse. Good weekend fixture to bounce back with for Klopp.

I don't understand why people keep saying we need a draw. No matter what happens, we'll be second. If Napoli win, we need to beat Napoli at home and draw to PSG away. If PSG win, we can lose against PSG and only need to beat Napoli at home. If it's a draw and we lose to PSG and win against Napoli, it will come down to best result in the Napoli games. That's assuming both beat Red Star. Personally I'd prefer to just have to win the Napoli game and therefore a PSG result would be best.

You’ve got to look a the strength of the group.
Depending on the result between PSG & Napoli we’ve still got a great chance of qualifying.
