On the other hand, in the Champions League, Liverpool has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. Liverpool has a nice streak going on as they have played 20 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Fulham defeat 241 days ago.

The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League last time out and are looking for a win here. A disappointing finish for Liverpool in their match versus Brighton & Hove Albion as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. The forward Mohamed Salah was named "man of the match" for Liverpool with a rating of 7.64/10. Salah served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Preston North End.
