Liverpool vs Cardiff City
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Anfield
Date: Saturday, October 27
Kick-off: 3pm BST
Liverpool are back in Premier League action on Saturday and will be looking to rack up the goals as Cardiff City head to Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp's men put four past Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday night to put themselves in control of their Champions League group, and return to domestic action second to Manchester City only be virtue of goal difference.
The odds of Cardiff causing a shock on Merseyside are slim, but Neil Warnock's side will be more confident now than at any point this season after beating Fulham 4-2 last weekend - their first League win of the campaign.
