Olympique Lyon vs Liverpool Match Preview
Liverpool red scare
Who would have imagined Liverpool struggling in Group E with only three points after three match-days?
Today, this is the reality as the Reds from the Merseyside have suffered defeats away to Fiorentina and at home to former French league champions Lyon.
Statistics are alarming from a Liverpool point of view; the five-time UEFA Champions League winners have conceded twice as much as they’ve scored compared to Lyon’s seven goals that give them a plus-six goal difference at the top of the table.
Liverpool are also three points behind Italian Seria A’s Fiorentina who bounced back with two victories after losing their first European game this season.
Mathematically, Liverpool have few options but to beat Lyon in France on Wednesday evening if they are to revive their chances of toping Group E or even of qualifying as runners-up from the table.
Lyon excitement
Meanwhile, the party could go on for the French at the Stade Gerland if they emulate the achievement that they had at Anfield against Liverpool a fortnight ago.
The French side has often been subject to a lot of struggles in the Champions League in the past recent years.
This season though, things have shaped out differently as Lyon have kept their perfect record intact.
Three wins out of three have put them at the top of Group E with nine points and a healthy six goals difference.
Olympique Lyonnais could book their place in the last sixteen of the UEFA Champions League in style by defeating Liverpool again in front of their own home fans.
Many criticized Lyon’s selling of French star Karim Benzema but it now looks like Claude Puel’s side still have enough fire in their belly to knock down English and European giants Liverpool.
Quick team news view
Both sides might once again be without key players for the encounter but that should not make the match less captivating.
Lyon were without a number of defensive players whereas Liverpool were also missing the influence of early-substituted Steven Gerrard as well as some other players.
Still, the match was deemed to be the highlight of the night and fans will expect much more excitement on Wednesday evening.
On Wednesday, Steven Gerrard will be missing from the entire squad choice as the captain is expected to undergo through surgery. However, Liverpool's Fernando Torres is expected to start despite concerns over his fitness.
