Genk vs Liverpool: Prediction, tickets, team news, live stream, TV, H2H, betting - Champions League preview

Liverpool continue their Champions League title defence with a trip to Genk on Wednesday evening.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds kicked off Group E with a 2-0 defeat at Napoli, but got back on track by beating Red Star Belgrade 4-3 at Anfield last time out.

Up next for Liverpool are Belgian side Genk, who have collected one point so far - though that was a creditable goalless home draw against Napoli.

Klopp will want to see his defence improve after conceding five group-stage goals already, and they can ill-afford another defeat if they want to finish top of the table.
