After beating Huddersfield 3-0 in the premier league last Saturday at Anfield, Liverpool are ready to face Maribor in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Reds thrashed the Slovenian side 7-0 last week in the first leg, and are now level on points with their Group leaders Spartak Moscow after the first three games.

And the fans will hope the boys will go into the game with full confidence following the victory over Huddersfield in the premier league.
