UEFA Champions League action continues as Liverpool FC visit Rangers FC Glasgow at Ibrox Stadium in the fourth matchday of the group stage, looking to keep up their three points from three to keep up the pressure at the top of Group A, where they also compete with Ajax and Napoli. Last week they met at Anfield and Jürgen Klopp's side won 2-0 with goals from Trent Alexander Arnold and Mohamed Salah from the penalty spot.
The Reds go into the game second in the table with six points, while Rangers are third with three points. The match will be refereed by Slavko Vinčić, who will be assisted by Tomaž Klančnik and Andraž Kovačič, while the fourth official will be Alen Borošak. Liverpool are hurting after dropping points again in the English Premier League, where they are 10th with 10 points.
England international Liverpool want to sign, but it's not Bellingham
Luis Díaz will cause Klopp this big problem for the clash with Rangers
They were beaten 3-2 by Arsenal at the weekend to complete their third straight game without a win. The Scots, meanwhile, have now won three consecutive games in the Scottish League, where they are runners-up, two points behind Celtic FC. In their last match they beat St. Mirren 4-0. Jürgen Klopp does not win for upsets. Defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip have been added to Liverpool's already long list of injured players, who will be out for between two and three weeks, a news that aggravates even more the situation of the English team.
Alexander-Arnold had to be substituted at half-time in the defeat to Arsenal with an ankle problem following a tackle by Martinelli, while Matip, who was replaced in the second half by Ibrahima Konaté, is suffering from a calf injury. Both defenders join Colombian Luis Diaz, who is ruled out until December and will also miss the World Cup, Arthur Melo, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Andy Robertson.
This latest setback has come at a delicate time, as the club are tenth in the Premier League, fourteen points off the pace. This is evidence that Klopp's side have not started the league with the expected results, as they are, curiously enough, a long way from where they should be, fighting for the title. In addition, these new absentees leave the Reds' defence quite shaken. With the absence of Matip, the German coach is considering the options of Konaté and Gómez to accompany Van Dijk in the defensive line. But the full-back's injury is more damaging, because he will only be able to count on Gomez, who has played very few minutes so far this season.
