Jurgen Klopp’s reds travel to Spain in search of a potentially decisive 3 points in Group E of the UEFA Champions League. Liverpool sit top of the group on 8 points – one more than Tuesday’s opponents Sevilla and a win on the road would guarantee qualification to the knockout stages. The game is a repeat of the 2016 Europa League final which Sevilla won 3-1 in Basel.

Sevilla’s Form
Sevilla have had a topsy-turvy Champions League campaign so far and sit 2nd in Group E. Their opening day draw with Liverpool at Anfield has been backed up by subsequent wins at home to Maribor and Spartak Moscow but their 5-1 hammering at the hands of the Russians on match day 3 – will be a real cause for concern.
Domestically, Sevilla sit in 6th place – 12 points behind table-topping Barcelona who beat them 2-1 last time out. Wissam Ben Yedder has impressed this season for the White and Reds – scoring 8 goals in a prolific start to the campaign.
Liverpool’s Form
With 4 games gone, the reds will be very happy to find themselves unbeaten and top of the group. Opening draws against Spartak Moscow and Sevilla and subsequent back-to-back wins over Maribor look to have given the reds confidence. Domestically, they have suffered heavy defeats to Tottenham and Manchester City but are still very much in contention for the Champions League places – sitting in 5th place. They sit three points clear of Real Madrid and 8 clear of Dortmund and APOEL – managing to score 10 goals in their 4 group games so far. Mohamed Salah is one of the signings of the season so far – having notched 12 goals for his new club already in all competitions.
Head to Head
This will be the third competitive meeting between two evenly matched teams – with Sevilla unbeaten against the reds so far – winning 3-1 in the Europa League final and registering a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture. The opening group game on match day 1 was an entertaining fixture with Ben Yedder and Correa scoring for Sevilla whilst Firmino and Salah registered for the reds.
