Liverpool are eyeing the leadership of the Champions League, but for this they will have to make their home advantage against Rangers, from Scotland, next Tuesday (04), in the 3rd round of the group stage of the continental competition. With three points so far, the English team is in second position, but can match Napoli provided that the Italians lose to Ajax, playing away.
Despite facing the weakest team in group A so far, manager Jurgen Klopp said he does not expect it to be easy.
Rangers have yet to score in two Champions League games and have also conceded seven goals. Despite that issue, Klopp recalled the good international campaign the Scots enjoyed last season when they finished runners-up in the Europa League, as well as their latest match, where they thrashed Hearts in the Scottish Championship. They are a good football team and they have a great manager, and they had a great European campaign last season, obviously.

They played a lot of good games during the season, but especially the last one left the exact impression of what a great team they are. They didn't have good results in the Champions League so they must have changes. We're ready for a game of hard work," Klopp said. After suffering a defeat to Napoli (4-1) in the opening game of the Champions League, Liverpool showed an early reaction and passed by Ajax (2-1) in the last round.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have three points after beating Ajax 2-1 in their last home outing and will be hoping to get back on track against Rangers if they are not to lose any more ground. Before the crucial Champions League match against Liverpool, Rangers attended the media, and the name of Alfredo Morelos came up in that press conference, the captain of the Scottish team, James Tavernier, referred to the present of the striker from Cordoba.
Now the focus is to continue accumulating wins to try to fight for first place in group A, which has Napoli with 100% record so far. Favourites although Klopp has highlighted the strength of Rangers, Liverpool play on Tuesday (04), at Anfield. If they manage to win, the Englishmen will equal Napoli's score, but will hardly pass the Italians, who are with a positive balance of six goals.
