Current form: Liverpool vs Red Star Belgrade
Liverpool come into this game still unbeaten in the Premier League, with seven wins and two draws from their opening nine games, which sees them sitting second in the table on 23 points. However, the Reds are well behind Manchester City due to goal difference (+23 versus +13) and will be looking to get back on track in the Champions League after suffering a setback by losing 1-0 to Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo on matchday two.
Fortunately for them, they have a much easier opponent coming up after having to face PSG on matchday one and then Napoli. Red Star Belgrade have only picked up just one point after managing to hold Napoli to a scoreless draw and although they are back in the group stages after over a decade thanks to winning the Serbian top flight, the Reds are by far viewed as the favorites to come out on top here. That being said, the visitors have a solid record in European competition, with just three defeats in their last 19 games and will be hoping to restore some pride after suffering a humiliating 6-1 loss to PSG in their last Champions League game - which is their joint-worst defeat in the club's history.
Liverpool's home record, however, is not to be discounted. The Reds are unbeaten in their last 17 European home matches since Real Madrid beat them 3-0 on October 22, 2014, and it will take something really special from Red Star to topple them at Anfield on Wednesday evening.
Current position: Liverpool vs Red Star Belgrade
Here is how Liverpool and their upcoming opponents Red Star compare in the table after two matchdays. The Reds will be hoping to leapfrog current Group C leaders Napoli, as they take on bottom-placed Red Star Belgrade on matchday three. With the Partenopei facing a very tough test against Ligue 1 champions PSG, Liverpool, who finished as runners-up in last season's Champions League, certainly have a great chance to jump into top spot in their quartet.
