Liverpool are in desperate need of a win in the Champions League this week. The Reds look unlikely to qualify for next season’s competition through their Premier League position after yet another home defeat at the weekend. Some Liverpool fans have reacted to the latest team news ahead of the RB Leipzig clash this week.
Liverpool take on Leipzig
This week could prove vital to the Reds’ fortunes this season and next.
Jürgen Klopp takes his men back to the Puskas Arena for the second leg of their round of 16 tie with RB Leipzig.
Liverpool hold a 2-0 lead over RB Leipzig from the first leg.
This time out the Reds will be the ‘home team’ at the neutral venue.
Given that Liverpool finishing in the top four now looks pretty unlikely we may need to win the Champions League in order to qualify for next season’s competition.
Liverpool team news v RB Leipzig
Last weekend the Reds made sweeping changes against Fulham.
Some were forced, some weren’t.
Roberto Firmino and Ozan Kabak were left out of the squad due to injury.
How much of a difference they would’ve made is anybody’s guess, the performance was pretty limp.
The Athletic has reported that the pair should be passed fit to take on RB Leipzig this week.
In contrast, our opponents could be without left wing back Angelino with the Spaniard having missed his side’s last few games due to injury.
Fans react to news
Fans on the whole aren’t convinced the pair returning will make a difference.
Some believe we need to make other changes.
