Union Saint-Gilloise tonight become the first opposition to face Liverpool in a Europa League game at Anfield for over six years.
The Reds kicked off their Group E schedule with a comeback victory against LASK of Austria last month and can assert themselves as favourites to qualify for the next round by winning again this week.
Belgian club USG are riding high atop the Jupiler Pro League and are no team to be taken lightly, having reached the quarter-finals of this competition last season.
Following the disappointment of their controversial defeat to Tottenham, Jurgen Klopp’s side are in need of a pick-me-up.
A victory on Merseyside will help ease the pain of that saga as the off-pitch rumblings continue.

Liverpool vs Union Saint-Gilloise is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight, Thursday, October 5, 2023.
