Liverpool v Lille: Champions League team news

During a preview of the match, head coach Bruno Genesio said: “We will go to the match with ambitions with this desire to play our own football.

“Obviously we’re going to take into account our opponents’ strengths and we’re going to do things to counter our opponents, to stop them playing their game.

“We’re not here to stage a football demonstration and we think we’re going to have 90 per cent possession – we’re pretty sure that won’t be the case.

“But nevertheless, every time we are able to, we will play our own football, be ambitious and (try) to ward off their attacks as well, because we know how good a team they are.”
