Liverpool host Champions League debutants Bologna in what will be Arne Slot’s first European game at Anfield.
Slot’s side will be hoping to continue their strong start to the new-look competition following a 3-1 win over another Italian side in Milan on matchday one.
The game will also mark Liverpool’s 250th in the Champions League and European Cup, and will be the first competitive fixture between the two sides.
Bologna began their European journey with a goalless draw at home to Shakhtar Donetsk a fortnight ago and the Serie A side will be looking to cause something of an upset on Merseyside.
Read on to discover how both teams line-up for tonight’s clash.
