Uefa Champions League 2018/19

Liverpool will look to get back to winning ways in the Champions League as they host Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday night.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds kicked off Group C in style with a 3-2 win over PSG, but then fell to a 1-0 defeat at Napoli to make life difficult.

Liverpool know the upcoming double-header against Red Star can stand them in good stead to take charge, but six points are a must in what is fast becoming a tight group.

Liverpool have confirmed they will offer a portion of Red Star's unused ticket allocation to season ticket holders and members aged between 17-21 in a drive to get young fans to Anfield.

Red Star fans are banned from attending the Anfield match due to a Uefa punishment for a pitch invasion in August's Champions League qualifiers vs RB Salzburg.

However, Merseyside Police are planning a security operation given that over 1,000 Red Star fans travelled to the club's last away game against PSG.
