Liverpool vs Qarabag: Champions League preview

Liverpool's Champions League campaign has been almost as good as it gets, despite two defeats against Galatasaray and PSV Eindhoven.

In the driving seat for a top-eight spot, Qarabag should be a routine victory for the Reds, but stranger things have happened.

Liverpool are two points clear of ninth-placed Barcelona, and a success against Qarabag should see them through; even a draw may turn out to be enough.

Mohamed Salah scored against Marseille in their penultimate league-phase clash, and the Egyptian is likely to partner Hugo Ekitike in attack, with Alexander Isak still sidelined.

Qarabag have never progressed past the group stage of a UCL campaign before, but look good value for a place in the knockout stages this season.

They sit two clear of Napoli outside the knockout berths, but a loss on Merseyside might still yield success in terms of qualification, although there is still so much to be decided.

Brazilian playmaker Kady Borges is on the sidelines with an unknown injury, and striker Ramil Sheydayev is ineligible at Anfield.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Liverpool 3-0 Qarabag

The Reds should ease through in the top eight if they play how they did against Marseille.
