Follow all of today's Football matches on our Live Match Centre

This will be the second meeting between these two teams, a week after they met at Anfield last week. The goals scored by Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah on either side of halftime gave the Reds a 2-0 victory.

Liverpool lost 3-2 to Arsenal last weekend, so they will be eager to get back on track with a victory. The Reds defeated the Rangers 2-0 in the previous meeting so they will be optimistic about their chances here.

Liverpool is currently in second place in Group A with six points after three matches. If other results go their way, they will have an excellent chance of advancing to the knockout rounds with a victory here. On Wednesday, S.S.C. Napoli will face AFC Ajax, who are presently in first place in the group with nine points.

Rangers are currently at the bottom of their UEFA Champions League group with 0 points after losing all three group games. The Scottish giants will attempt to salvage some respect here, knowing that a win will keep their European aspirations alive.

Ajax is in third place inside the group with three points. If they lose to Napoli and Rangers beat Liverpool, there is a chance that the Scottish club will finish third and slip to the Europa League.

Liverpool is currently 14 points behind Arsenal and only one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League standings, making their progression to the Champions League quarterfinals more crucial than ever.

As for head-to-head stats, their meeting at Anfield was their first competitive match, and this will be their second showdown.

Liverpool  predicted lineup

Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Joel Matip sustained injuries against Arsenal and will miss this match.

Andrew Robertson has returned to full training and might return to the starting eleven. In addition, summer acquisition Calvin Ramsay might fill in for Alexander-Arnold in his absence.

Ibrahima Konate made his first game of the season after returning from a knee injury in the second half. He could defend with Virgil van Dijk.

Probable lineup: Alisson, Salah, Firmino, Jota, Nunez, Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Fabinho, and Thiago.

Rangers F.C.'s predicted lineup

Rangers manager, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, will be missing Tom Lawrence, while ex-Reds hopeful Ryan Kent was left on the bench for the weekend victory against St. Mirren.

Antonio Colak scored twice in Saturday's victory over St. Mirren. He will likely start ahead of Alfredo Morelos in attack since the Colombian is battling to regain his form after a lengthy injury layoff.

Glen Kamara might start in midfield to bring more composure in that area, while James Sands could displace ex-Liverpool player Ben Davies in central defence after the latter served his one-game suspension last week.

Probable lineup: McGregor, Sakala, Colak, Kent, Tavernier, Goldson, Sands, Barisic; Lundstram, Davis, and Kamara.

FC Liverpool VS Rangers FC prediction

Rangers were anticipated to give Liverpool a far stricter battle than last week's 2-0 victory at Anfield, but the visitors are likely to have too much offensive firepower in the end.

Despite Liverpool's recent troubles, the difference in talent between the two teams is significant.

Final prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Rangers
