Liverpool need just a point against Lille tonight to guarantee their place in the last 16 of the Champions League.
But after six wins from six games in Europe so far, the Reds will be determined to continue their perfect campaign which has them sitting pretty at the top of the table.
Arne Slot’s men come into the game fresh off their dramatic 2-0 win at Brentford on Saturday which saw Darwin Nunez come off the bench to score twice in stoppage time.
Much like Brentford proved to be, Lille represent a difficult task as the French side look to extend a 21-game unbeaten streak which sees them eighth and well in the hunt for a top-eight finish.
