French side Marseille arrive with confidence boosted after a thrilling 5-2 away win over Angers in Ligue 1 on Saturday, a result that kept their faint domestic title hopes alive.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side remain eight points adrift of surprise leaders Lens, though attention now firmly switches back to Europe with qualification firmly within reach.
Momentum is building. Victory on Wednesday would give Marseille three consecutive wins in the Champions League for the first time since the 2010-11 campaign.
The French side’s recent success against Newcastle also ended a long drought against English opposition, snapping a run of 12 straight matches without a win against clubs from the Premier League.
Liverpool head into the fixture under growing scrutiny following another frustrating Premier League outing at the weekend.
A 1-1 draw at home to Burnley on Saturday was met with audible frustration from the Anfield crowd, increasing the pressure on head coach Arne Slot as results continue to fall short of expectations.
That draw extended Liverpool’s unbeaten run to 12 matches in all competitions, yet the sequence has been undermined by too many stalemates.
Four draws in their last five games have stalled progress, and their most recent defeat came in this competition back in November, when they were heavily beaten 4-1 by PSV.
European form does offer encouragement for the Reds. Liverpool have won 16 of their last 19 Champions League group stage or league phase matches, suffering just three defeats.
Their record against French opposition is also respectable, with five wins, one draw and only two losses in their last eight meetings at this stage of the tournament.
Marseille will look for maximum points and a vital win in front of a raucous Stade Velodrome crowd as they chase another European win tonight.
