The Reds are almost into the last-16 of the Champions League
Liverpool head into their final Champions League group game knowing qualification for the knockout stages is within touching distance as they welcome Qarabag to Anfield tonight.
Arne Slot’s side sit fourth in the league-phase table and are well placed to progress, holding a two-point cushion over the chasing pack.
A draw would likely be enough to secure a place in the last 16, while victory would guarantee the Reds finish inside the top eight and avoid any late drama.
Confidence in Europe is high after Liverpool produced an impressive 3-0 win away to Marseille in their previous continental outing, a result that strengthened their grip on qualification ahead of the final round of fixtures.
Domestic form, however, has been less convincing of late.
A dramatic stoppage-time defeat at Bournemouth last weekend dealt a blow to their Premier League top-four ambitions, with Liverpool conceding twice late on the south coast.
Matters were compounded on Sunday when Manchester United capitalised by beating leaders Arsenal at the Emirates to move above the Reds in the league standings.
