      We have to score two because we know we will definitely concede at least 1. :( How nice would it be if we were so confident of our defense.

      Therefore, I have gone for 1-2 for the mighty REDS. :)

      Ridiculous for two English clubs to be playing there in two days.

      I'm not sure why both the Moscow sides are playing their home European games on the same week - thought it was usually split home/away like Man Utd and Man City.

      Still, I can't see there being an issue - Moscow is a lot bigger than London isn't it?  In any case I'd be more concerned about the Russian badasses than Stan from Salford who got there a day before his game.

      Hopefully the first of many games with Salah, Mane and Coutinho ripping teams apart.

      I had forgotten Gomez is suspended for this. I see Flanno in the traveling squad. Hopefully Trent can bounce back from a shaky performance his last time out and play more like he did vs. Hoffenheim.

      Jürgen Klopp has named a 21-man squad for Liverpool's Champions League Group E clash with Spartak Moscow.

      The Reds continue their 2017-18 European campaign with a journey to Russia, and the manager will have an array of options at his disposal when his team take on Massimo Carrera's side.

      In a significant boost to the travelling party, winger Sadio Mane returns to the fold after serving a three-match domestic ban.

      However, defender Joe Gomez is absent as he prepares to serve a one-match suspension meted out as a result of the red card he received against Sevilla.

      Ben Woodburn will be part of the Reds' U19s squad for the UEFA Youth League contest with the same opponents.

      Liverpool squad in full: Karius, Mignolet, Ward, Lovren, Klavan, Moreno, Robertson, Matip, Flanagan, Alexander-Arnold, Wijnaldum, Milner, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Can, Firmino, Coutinho, Salah, Sturridge, Mane, Solanke.

      I'll go for Ward, Flanagan, Solanke not to make the 18 man squad.

      Jürgen Klopp has indicated Sadio Mane could be restored straight back into Liverpool's starting line-up for Tuesday's encounter with Spartak Moscow – but final decisions on his XI won't be made until tomorrow morning.

      Having trained at Melwood this morning, the Reds departed for Russia just after noon from John Lennon Airport, touching down in Moscow at approximately 6.25pm local time.

      Among the travelling 21-man party was Mane, who returns to the fold following a domestic suspension that ruled him out of the last three matches.

      “He’s back and available again – and if he is available it makes sense to bring him from the beginning, but we will see,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com during the team’s flight to Moscow.

      “It’s difficult to make the line-up already; we did some analysis of Moscow yesterday morning. That gives you a little insight [into our schedule] – you win at Leicester, have a team meeting when you come in [on Sunday], then you have the analysis meeting about Moscow and then an analysis meeting with the team about Leicester again. Then you go home and you watch Moscow and Newcastle because we play there a few days later!

      “The next meeting with the players is tomorrow – and I have to go immediately to the press conference which is in a different hotel to our one, but then we will make the line-up.

      “Sadio is back and it’s really good. He made all the normal training sessions. When you are injured or suspended you have to do more than the rest of the squad because you cannot play, so he should be OK.”

      Elsewhere, Klopp will have a decision to make in defence due to the suspension of Joe Gomez following his red card against Sevilla in Liverpool’s last Champions League outing.

      The boss admits it’s likely to mean an instant recall for Trent Alexander-Arnold, but no final decisions have yet been made.

      He said: “It’s likely [Trent will start] but at the moment nothing is sure. But probably.”

      Liverpool departed for Russia just over 40 hours on from the conclusion of their 3-2 victory at Leicester City on Saturday evening.

      Klopp acknowledges the short time between the fixture at the King Power Stadium and Tuesday’s tie with Moscow will give him and his backroom team some food for thought when selecting the line-up, but doesn’t believe it’ll be an issue for his side.

      “For sure, it’s something to think about but it’s not a problem,” stated the boss. “If you do it Saturday, Tuesday, Friday and then Monday that makes no sense, but this time is one time and it’s no problem.

      “After Tuesday, we don’t play again until Sunday so it’s a long part of the week. It’s no problem.”



      Elsewhere, Klopp reported no fresh injury concerns following the hard-fought contest at Leicester and believes Liverpool touched down in Moscow in high spirits.

      Asked if there were any fitness worries within the squad, he replied: “Not really. There are normal things, but nothing we should think about. It’s all good. We have 18 players plus three goalkeepers with us.

      “It’s a little bit different because we had to train this morning, which is a little bit too early for the game tomorrow. But we’re now long enough together and that’s European football and I like it. It’s always a little bit of a kind of adventure, things are different and sometimes not what we’re used to. Moscow is a big, big city and the traffic is intense!

      “The shape in general is good, our form is good and the shape from the weekend is good, so no problem. We had a good success, three points, so the feeling is good – we’re all in a good mood and everything is fine.”

      Good to have Mane back.  TAA in for Gomez seems no brainer.  Great to go into this off the back of a win ...

      Some of these questions... As a manager, you're there to have a little chat about your team and the opposition. Half the questions had nothing to do with either of those. Can't really fault the young woman, she clearly knew not much about football at all. At least use a translator that knows what the journalists / managers are going to talk about and that actually speaks decent English.

      State of that press conference.

      Seemed like the Russian lot and Sky were doing their best to outdo each other on the most stupid question to ask.

      Exactly, F***ing hell.

      The level of journalism (you really can't even call it that anymore) is at an alarming low. He was just laughing it all away the biggest part of the press conference, but he was clearly irritated by that Kane question and the end. Who even comes up with these questions?

      Spartak.... will have the shock of their wee Russian lives, cos the true Red army are coming to town, really can't see them causing us too much grief if i'm honest, although no mugs they will find it extremely difficult to cope with our high press and our fantastic 4,
      goal diff could be vital come the end of the group stage, finishing top of the group will keep us away from the likes of RM, Barca, BM, AM etc, Sevilla or us will top it but scoring a shed load in our next two will do us know harm,
      i can see us absolutely battering this lot, hopefully by 3 or 4, we're due to give out a proper hammering so why not these fuckers, anyhoo i'm off got things to do.....Mos-cow  ;D

      Think we might see Sturridge start ahead of Firmino but other than that, think this is pretty much what it will be like.
