Predicted line-up
Score predictions
Barney Corkhill, Sportsmole: Liverpool 0-1 Leipzig
"It is difficult to back Liverpool to score at the moment, yet alone win a game, and so long as Leipzig can cut out the mistakes which cost them so dearly in the reverse fixture then they will be confident of keeping a clean sheet.
"The challenge would then be to make up the two-goal deficit, and that could be where they end up falling short against a Liverpool side which, despite such dreadful recent form, has only conceded four goals in their last five outings.
"We can see Leipzig winning on the night but Liverpool still just about edging through on aggregate."
Quotes from the manager
Jurgen Klopp (via Liverpool FC): "I have no doubts about us for tomorrow; not that I know we will go through 100 per cent, but I know we will give Leipzig a proper fight. And that’s the only thing I need to know in the moment. For all the rest, there’s no guarantee for anything – not for them, not for us. But there’s 95 minutes to use to get closer to the things you want.stake to judge Fulham because of their position in the table."
Julian Nagelsmann (via This Is Anfield): "I feel for Liverpool and Jurgen especially when you are used to being successful and everything which comes into it with the emotions, the title.
"And then there is a period that is hard to come through but the players and coach are too good and they will get out of it.
"This is a difficult phase for the team but they are still a world-class team, it is one of the top world-class coaches."
