Brendan Rodgers and his players will be aiming to take another major step towards qualification for the knockout rounds of the competition with a win.

"But we know that, and we've already shown in this competition, that we can compete and be really competitive in all aspects, whether it's technical, tactical or the physical side of the game. So, that's what we're looking forward to, that challenge."
