Prediction: 3-1
St Gilloise
Liverpool will look to retain top position in Group E when they host St Gilloise to their Anfield on Thursday evening. The Reds were more than unfortunate not to grab something from Saturday’s clash against Tottenham, with Joel Matip scoring a late own goal and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways as soon as possible. Fit-again wing back Trent Alexander-Arnold is pushing for a start, as well as forward Diogo Jota, whilst both Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago remain in the treatment room.
St Gilloise, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-1 win over Charleroi at the weekend, but they will have a mountain to climb against Liverpool, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. David faces Goliath at Anfield, meaning that anything but a routine home win would be a big shock. Both Loic Lapoussin and Alessio Castro-Montes should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Liverpool):
Founded back in 1892, Liverpool are one of England’s and world’s most famous clubs. The Reds hold a high-profile rivalry with Everton and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the Merseyside derby.
The Reds welcome their opponents at Anfield and it has to be noted that they have already won 18 first division trophies. Liverpool were on the verge of lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and left the Reds without a title.
Liverpool won one of their last Champions League trophy's in 2005, with the team coming from three goals behind to beat Milan in a historic clash in Istanbul. The Reds have clinched six European Cups and it is no surprise they are regarded as one of the greatest European clubs.
The likes of Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Paul Ince, Ian Rush, Graeme Souness, Sami Hyypia and Luis Suarez are some of the most notable footballers to have represented the club over the years. The club’s anthem is You’ll Never Walk Alone and their shirt colour is red.
