Mohamed Salah can join Didier Drogba and Sergio Aguero as players to have scored the most Champions League goals for a single English club.

The Egyptian needs one more for the Reds to equal the tally of 36 netted by Drogba (Chelsea) and Aguero (Manchester City), having bagged goal No.35 (excluding qualifiers) during last week's victory over Rangers at Anfield.

Salah has 38 goals overall in the Champions League – including his strikes with FC Basel and AS Roma – and is the competition's joint-18th-highest scorer of all time.

A win in this game will see Liverpool requiring just a single point away to AFC Ajax to qualify for the knockout stages.

Jürgen Klopp's side have won 13 of their last 16 Champions League group-stage fixtures.

Away to Scottish opponents in Europe, the Reds have played seven times – winning three, with two draws and two defeats.

Only 11 goals have been scored in total in the seven visits to Scottish teams.

Roberto Firmino has scored six times in his 11 appearances in 2022-23, to equal his best ever goalscoring start to a campaign.

Virgil van Dijk is the only player to feature in every minute of Liverpool's 12-game season so far.

In the Europa League in November 2020, Darwin Nunez came off the bench to score a 91st-minute equaliser against Rangers in a Europa League group-stage contest that finished 3-3 in Lisbon.

Liverpool have not played a European game on this date since 1966 – they lost 3-1 at Romanian side Petrolul Ploiesti in the first round of the European Cup.
