Liverpool v Zenit St Petersburg preview
The reds were undone by goals from Hulk and Sergei Semak in Russia last week, meaning they have a lot of work to do to progress. Indeed, despite their plethora of famous European nights only once have Liverpool overturned a 2-0 first leg deficit to win. back in 1991 they did that feat against Auxerre in the UEFA cup.
Zenit have not played since their match with Liverpool because of the winter break in Russia, with their league campaign not restarting until next month. HOwever, Rodgers side reeled off a 5-0 win over swansea at the weekend which has given them a real boost ahead of their Europa League Clash.
Roders is determined to progress and will be fielding his strongest side at Anfield. that means Luis Suarez will be starting the match, but Daniel Sturridge is cup-tied so cannot be involved as is Philippe Coutinho.
