KATHMANDU, Oct 24: Liverpool welcomes Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday in Group C action in the Champions League at Anfield. The match is scheduled at 12:45 AM NST (Nepali Standard Time).

Red Star has lost its first two games whilst Liverpool hopes to bounce back from the Napoli defeat.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said Jordan Henderson will miss the game because of a hamstring injury and will also miss Saturday's Premier League home game with Cardiff City. Similarly, Naby Keita will not play, but Mane might feature.

Mane missed Saturday's Premier League win at Huddersfield after injuring his hand while playing for Senegal.

The Serbian champions are bottom of the group with one point from two games.

Red Star Belgrade have won just one of their nine away games against English opposition (D4 L4), though it did come against Liverpool in November 1973.

Liverpool are unbeaten in each of their last 16 home games in major European competitions (W11 D5), scoring 39 goals in that time. Liverpool have lost three of their last four Champions League games.
