Liverpool can book their spot in the last 16 of the Champions League as they face Lille in their penultimate group fixture.
A perfect six wins from six games leave Arne Slot’s side top of the tree in Europe, just as they are in the Premier League, and all but assured of direct progression through to the knockout rounds.
Their visitors, though, are also going well, sitting eighth with two games to go having lost just once in the competition so far.
A surprise win at Anfield would be a real boost as they look to join their opponents in avoiding the two-legged play-off round.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Liverpool vs Lille is due to kick off at 8pm GMT on Tuesday 21 January at Anfield.
Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Amazon Prime Video, with coverage from 7pm.
Joe Gomez is Liverpool’s only long-term absentee, though Diogo Jota is a doubt having missed the win at Brentford with a niggle. Some rotation can be expected as Arne Slot continues to balance efforts domestic and continental.
Lille are currently without defensive pair Tiago Santos and Samuel Umtiti.
Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Endo, Jones; Salah, Nunez, Chiesa.
Lille XI: Chevalier; Meunier, Diakite, Ribeiro, Ismaily; Andre, Bouaddi; Bakker, Cabella, Sahraoui; David.
Liverpool win 6/19
Draw 26/5
Lille win 11/1
