Jurgen Klopp’s side lost to Fulham at the weekend as their recent slump continued and they’ll want to hit back tonight.

Liverpool v RB Leipzig: What has been said?
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: “We arrive knowing we are only at half-time. Nothing is done. The contest is still to be won. No outcome guaranteed.
“As a club and as a team we know better than most that having a lead in the Champions League is only as good as what you do with it. If the scoreline was reversed I know I would still view our chances as very good. It will certainly be the case for our opponent.
“We have a lead – which we have earned – that is all.
“I am the biggest believer in the world of keeping the focus on what’s next, rather than what has been. But we should not forget, as a team, the experiences we have had together in this amazing competition. We can use the experience as fuel I think.
“Not by thinking the badge on our shirt that says ‘6’ helps us – it doesn’t. However, remembering the values and application that brought us into that position can.
“Humility was always a central theme in guiding our success in European competition since I have been here. We never once acted entitled. We never once acted like the tournament owed us anything. What we achieved, we earned. Through commitment, quality and togetherness.
“We can still channel this. View every Champions League night as a privilege and something to cherish. Each game as a contest to attack.”
