Liverpool just need a draw at home to Lille to secure a spot in the Champions League knockout stages.
Arne Slot’s side are yet to drop points in the competition so far this season and duly sit top of the new-look Champions League table.
The Reds, who had Darwin Nunez to thank for Saturday’s dramatic 2-0 win against Brentford, host Lille at Anfield tonight and being in such a healthy position surely affords Slot the chance to rotate.

Liverpool vs Lille team news
Diogo Jota missed the Brentford game after picking up a knock in the draw with Nottingham Forest and will be out for “weeks”, along with Joe Gomez.
Darwin Nunez will hope to get his chance to lead the line, having come off the bench to score twice against the Bees.
Lille will be without defenders Tiago Santos and Samuel Umtiti due to injury.
Ethan Mbappe will also miss out, while Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Edon Zhegrova are both doubts.
Liverpool vs Lille prediction
Liverpool may not have been at their best in the last few weeks, but have been imperious in Europe all season and should have few problems at home tonight.
Lille are no pushovers, of course, sitting third in Ligue 1, albeit sitting some distance behind leaders PSG, but the Reds will have enough about them to earn another win.
Liverpool to win, 2-0.
