Liverpool host Danish champions FC Midtjylland in their second Champions League fixture of the season tonight.
The Reds - likely to be without Virgil van Dijk for the remainder of the season - began Group D on a winning note in Amsterdam last week after Nicolas Tagliafico's own goal handed them a narrow 1-0 victory over Ajax.
Liverpool also got back to winning ways in the top-flight against Sheffield United and will be expected to dish out further heavy punishment to Midtjylland, who were thrashed 4-0 on their Champions League debut by Atalanta but did subsequently secure a morale-boosting win over domestic rivals Brondby.
Date, time and venue
Liverpool vs Midtjylland is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday, October 27, 2020.
The match will be behind closed doors at Anfield with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.
How to watch
TV channel: The match will be televised on BT Sport 3 and BT Sport Ultimate, with coverage starting from 7:15pm.
Live stream: BT Sport subscribers will be able to watch the match online via the video player and the BT Sport app.
