Liverpool will be in the Serbian capital of Belgrade Tuesday night to take on Red Star, in a match-up that looks extremely lopsided on paper. It also looks like a game where the outcome won’t likely have much impact on either side’s European campaign. That’s because it’s a battle between the two sides that bookend the Group C standings.
Liverpool will be moving on to the knockout round, Red Star will not. This is a very quick turnaround for Liverpool, who just played the Premier League’s headliner fixture, a 1-1 draw at Arsenal. So it’s back on the road again.
That said, let’s take a look at who Reds boss Jurgen Klopp may include in his first team for this one.
