The hosts will hope to make it two wins in two in Europe when they welcome their Danish counterparts to Anfield on Tuesday.

Match preview

Liverpool will be eyeing a second successive win in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for only the second time in their history when they take on Midtjylland at Anfield on Tuesday. Fortune favored the Reds in their opening group game with Ajax as the keenly contested encounter was eventually settled by an own-goal by Nicolas Tagliafico Over the weekend, both teams enjoyed success in their respective leagues with Dutch outfit bouncing back to winning ways by putting 13 goals past VVV Venlo in the Eredivisie while Liverpool fought back to secure a 2-1 win over Sheffield United in the Premier League.

For Jurgen Klopp's side, the upcoming clash will present them with the right opportunity to start yet another domineering run in the European competition at Anfield. Last season's 3-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16 led to the collapse of a 25-game unbeaten run in their backyard. In recent times, Liverpool have particularly suffered to keep a clean sheet at home in the Champions League, having conceded in all of their last four appearances. With star centre-back Virgil van Dijk out with an injury, the objective looks even more complex and against a Midtjylland side that go into the upcoming clash off the back of a 3-2 win in their domestic league, Klopp will be circumspect in his approach.

The Danish club has endured a flying start in their domestic league but are yet to replicate the same form on the continental front. Having featured in six games already this term, they sit second on the Superligaen with 13 points and are only edged by the first-placed team via goal difference. In Europe, the tale is different as a 4-0 home defeat to Atalanta on opening day has relegated them to the bottom of Group D.

The trip to Liverpool could prove to be daunting for Midtjylland with history favoring the hosts. The records suggest that 14 of the 16 teams that have played their first Champions League away game against teams from England have been defeated. This, coupled with the fact that the visitors have lost seven of their last nine away fixtures in Europe, forms a compelling case for the host to potentially carry the day.

Team news

Liverpool will be without the injured Virgil van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. There is a boost in camp with Thiago Alcantara returning to the side after suffering an injury in the Merseyside derby. Naby Keita is also racing against time to be fit for the clash while Joel Matip is expected to be involved after missing the weekend's win over Sheffield United.

For Midtjylland, there are no pressing injury concerns.
