Red Bull Salzburg vs Liverpool Match Preview

In the Premier League, Liverpool are eight points ahead of their nearest rivals, Leicester, and have won their last seven league fixtures. Things haven’t been quite so simple in the Champions League group stage though, despite Liverpool’s position at the top of the group.

In their last Champions League fixture, back in November, Napoli drew with Liverpool at Anfield and Dejan Lovren’s equalising header was all that separated the Italian’s from victory.

Perhaps more importantly, Liverpool had already lost to Napoli in the Group E opener and didn’t make particularly easy work of underdogs, Genk, who they managed to defeat 2-1 on a subdued night at Anfield.

The reds will need to kick into top gear now, to finish the group stage in style and ensure qualification for the knockouts.

While the Austrian’s are outsiders tonight, they lost 4-3 when they came to Anfield, showing they have the capabilities to score against Jurgen Klopp’s side. They’ve managed some good results since too, drawing 1-1 with Napoli last month and taking a 5-1 league win on Saturday to cement their place at the top of the Austrian Bundesliga.
