The Merseyside red will be hoping to over turn the 1:0 first leg defeat in the hands of Basel has they lie third in the group with 4 point and Basel in second position with 6 point all they will be looking for is to frustrate Liverpool in other to secure just a point which would be enough for them to qualify to the knockout stages.

But it would be a big task because the Brenden Rogers men knows what is as-take if they don't get maximum three point tonight, it means they would be out of champions league probably dropping to Europa League spot.

Manager Brendan Rogers said in an interview that the players have to step up to the task if they are to keep their Champions League dream alive and the match has echoes of the game against Olympiacos in 2004.
It is exactly 10 years today, with his side under former manager Rafa Benitez needing to win by two clear goals to make the knockout stages, Gerrard smashed home with four minutes to go to clinch a 3-1 victory.

 It was the beginning of the club’s march towards a famous fifth European Cup win in Istanbul against AC Milan – a match which Gerrard heavily influenced again – but Rodgers insists the next generation now need to rise to the occasion.

 “In terms of Steven, we can’t be just reliant solely on him, this has to be about a team performance,” said Rodgers.

“We need other players to step up to the mark, taking on responsibility and being a catalyst and not place it on his shoulders.

 “There are few world class players around so when you are in a team that responsibility falls even more so on you but it has never been about that for us.

“For us to get a result we need for the team to be performing well and get a performance.

 “This is a competition which has a great history here for Liverpool and the Olympiacos game was a part of that.

 “It is an opportunity for the players now to qualify and make sure they write themselves into folklore by winning the game and ensuring they get into the next round – because that is the objective.”
