Form guide

LASK

LASK lost 1-0 at AEK Athens on Matchday 1. In Austria they started the season with seven straight wins, but they have not won in four matches since, losing 2-1 at Sturm Graz, drawing 3-3 at Hartberg and losing 2-0 to Rapid Vienna on Sunday.

Liverpool

Liverpool came from behind to beat Atlético de Madrid 2-1 on Matchday 1. They then beat Tottenham 3-1 and Bournemouth 1-0, but lost 3-0 at home to Manchester City on Sunday after Ryan Gravenberch was sent off.

Team news

LASK: Ramiz Harakaté (knee) and George Bello (muscle) are out. Moses Usor is a doubt with a shoulder problem.

Liverpool: Hugo Ekitiké is still out with an Achilles injury. Dominik Szoboszlai is unlikely to play because of a tight hamstring, and Cody Gakpo (ankle) and Alexander Isak (thigh) are doubts. Gravenberch's red card came in the Premier League, so pre-match reports expect him to be available in Europe.

Possible line-ups

These are projections from pre-match reports, not confirmed teams. The official line-ups are announced about an hour before kick-off.

LASK: Jungwirth; Mbuyamba, Alemão, Andrade; Jørgensen, Ljubičić, Bogarde, Horvath, Dibango; Kalajdžić, Lang.

Liverpool: Alisson; Araújo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Barcola, Wirtz, Ngumoha; Koumas.

  • LASK have never beaten an English club in six attempts, with one draw and five defeats.

  • Liverpool have never lost a competitive match in Austria, with four wins and one draw.
