Preview: Roma vs. Liverpool

Roma are going to face Liverpool and they are aiming to turn the 5-2 lead by Livepool scored in the Anfield. The sides have previously met in the second group stages of the Champions League in the 2001-02 season. Liverpool drew 0-0 away in Rome, before winning 2-0 back at Anfield. Across European tournaments, these teams have played each other six times. Liverpool have now won three, drawn two and lost one against the Italians. Before the 5-2 victory at Anfield, the club's most memorable meeting was in the 1984 European Cup final, when Liverpool beat Roma with 4-2 win on penalties at the Stadio Olimpico. TEAM NEWS: Jurgen Klopp has a lot of injury problems to deal with at the moment. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been ruled out for the season and the World Cup due to a serious knee injury in the first leg last week. Midfielders Emre Can (back),Adam Lallana (thigh) and defender Joel Matip (thigh) are also injured. Sadio Mane missed Saturday’s game against Stoke City with a knock,but Klopp is confident about him. Joe Gomez and Jordan Henderson both picked up ankle knocks at the weekend, while Trent Alexander-Arnold suffered a dead leg - but all three should recover in time to play against Roma. So let’s see who’s available. Here is the predicted starting line-up of Liverpool. Roma, meanwhile, will be without Kevin Strootman and Diego Perotti. Strootman has a rib issue and Perotti is out due to an ankle problem. Gregoire Defrel (ankle) and Rick Karsdorp (knee) are long-term absentees for Eusebio Di Francesco’s team.
