Marseille vs Liverpool: Preview

Marseille come into this game after battering Angers 5-2 in Ligue 1 at the weekend.

Mason Greenwood scored again as he took his tally for the season to 20 in 26 games in all competitions so far this term.

De Zerbi has also again been linked with a return to the Premier League with Manchester United in recent weeks, with the former Brighton boss performing well in the south of France.

His side comes into this European affair just three points shy of the top eight and hopeful of sneaking in with just two games to go.

Liverpool drew 1-1 with Burnley at the weekend, with Marcus Edwards cancelling out Florian Wirtz's opener.

Arne Slot's men are also bidding for a top-eight spot, which guarantees sides an automatic bye past the play-off round of the competition.

It is unclear whether forward Mohamed Salah will return after only just landing back in the UK following Egypt's AFCON endeavours.

It's probably safe to presume in that case that Hugo Ekitike will continue as the Reds' out-and-out forward.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Marseille 1-2 Liverpool

Liverpool has a solid record in France in Europe, and we predict that will continue on Wednesday evening.
