Liverpool begin their Europa League campaign tonight away at LASK.
The Reds have started life in the Premier League in unbeaten fashion after a big rebuild over the course of the summer, raising fresh hope of another title challenge. Increasingly, there is a feeling the club have bigger fish to fry.
For that reason, it’s difficult to know exactly how seriously Jurgen Klopp will take this competition.
While Liverpool are almost undoubtedly the best side in the Europa League, a deep run into the tournament may not be particularly beneficial on all fronts as they attempt to take on Manchester City domestically.
Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game in Austria.
The draw at the start of September pitted them against LASK, Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and French outfit Toulouse, and they will play all three teams twice between now and the end of the group stage in mid-December. USG will be taking on Toulouse in a concurrent fixture on Thursday evening.
Liverpool is coming off a 3-1 comeback victory at Wolves last weekend that left it with a strong return of 13 points from a possible 15, but it may also have one eye on Sunday's clash with West Ham United as it heads into this fixture.
LASK achieved an identical result in its weekend game against Austria Klagenfurt, but did so with greater comfort by establishing a 3-0 lead before half-time
