Even though Sion go into this game knowing they will need a win in order to finish top of the group, they will have noticed Liverpool’s ability to hurt teams that attempt to attack and go toe to toe with them. An away win by one goal is 11/4 with bet365.

Sion have scored five and conceded five in Group B so far. So, with the Reds already through to the next stage of the competition he may be spared for another game just as a precautionary measure. But he’s not about to take Sion for granted, despite the light-hearted nature of this presser. A draw between the two teams is 2/1 with bet365. Adam Lallana gave Reds early lead from close range and Ebenezer Assifuah equalised in 18th minute.
The last match between these two sides ended in a 1-1 draw at Anfield and, given that a share of the spoils would suit both sides here, it is perhaps unsurprising that Betway offer just 19/10 (2.90) that this match ends in stalemate.
Liverpool will be hoping for similar scenes of celebration in Switzerland.
Liverpool have not won three in succession in Europe since the qualifiers against Gomel (twice) and Hearts in 2012. They will still qualify if Rubin Kazan don’t beat Bordeaux. A charged-up Liverpool, backed by a doubly charged-up Klopp can mean only one thing – victory for the Reds.
Divock Origi has revealed that he will “be ready” if Jurgen Klopp needs him for Thursday’s Europa League clash against FC Sion.
Only Basel’s Breel Embolo (17) has completed more dribbles in the competition than Liverpool’s Jordan Ibe (16).
Coutinho has been on the sidelines since suffering a hamstring injury during Liverpool’s 4-1 win against Manchester City at the Etihad last month.

One of either Lovren and Skrtel will start alongside Toure, but we think the Croat will continue at the heart of defence following his promising development.
