Red Star Belgrade vs Liverpool LIVE: Champions League | Team news and updates ahead of Group C match

Red Star Belgrade vs Liverpool
Rajko Mitić Stadium, Belgrade
Kick-off: 5.55pm GMT

Liverpool are back in Champions League action tonight as they take on Red Star in Belgrade.

Jurgen Klopp’s side won the reverse of this Group C match 4-0 at Anfield on matchday three, and will be hoping to secure another win this evening.

Xherdan Shaqiri has been omitted from Liverpool’s squad for political reasons, with the Kosovo-born forward having been expected to have been on the receiving a hostile welcome in the Serbian capital.

Victory in Belgrade tonight will all but confirm Liverpool’s place in the knockout stages.

Our Liverpool Football Correspondent David Lynch is in Belgrade for tonight’s match, and you can catch all of his updates and team news as we build-up to the match.


Head to Head

The two sides have met three times, including Liverpool's 4-0 Anfield win in matchday three of this season's group stages.

The teams also met back in 1973 in the European Champions Clubs' Cup, with Red Star beating Liverpool 2-1 twice to progress to the quarter-finals 4-2 on aggregate.
