How to Watch Liverpool vs Red Star Live: Kick-off time, team news, odds, prediction, preview

Liverpool vs Red Star Belgrade Live | UEFA Champions League | Date: Wednesday, 24 October 2018 | Kick-Off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET | Venue: Anfield (Liverpool)

Liverpool and Manchester City took advantage of Chelsea's 2-2 draw at Manchester United this weekend. Now, these two fans are alone at the top of the Premier League standings with 23 points in 9 games. The Reds defeated Huddersfield Town 0-1 at John Smith Stadium on Saturday with a goal from Mohamed Salah with the help of Xerdan Shaqiri.

Jurgen Klopp confused his team with Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane at Burrow Bench. When the Brazilian forward starts on Wednesday to equalize Belgrade's Red Star in the Champions League, in the first minute, Mane will likely be absent again due to a thumb injury. However, Liverpool still should not have problems to defeat the Serbian champions, due to a big gap in terms of quality between the two camps.

Liverpool vs Red Star Belgrade:  Prediction

Things have changed a lot since the last meeting between the two teams and there is a big wall between them in terms of quality at this time. Red Star is a dominant force in their national league, where they are seven pics at the top of the standings with 11 wins and a 12-round draw.

However, they felt the strength of high-level European football three weeks ago when the PSG beat up to six goals in the second round of the competition.

Liverpool lost at the same time in Naples, conceding a final goal and losing 1-0 to Stadio San Paolo. They need a victory over the group's easiest opponent and we hope they win in the first half of the game.
