Correct score prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Bayer Leverkusen
Liverpool had to come from a goal down at the weekend to overcome Brighton at Anfield and a similar result here wouldn't shock anyone. Although Leverkusen aren't performing as well as they did last season, they are still a very dangerous outfit with world players in forward positions. If they were to blank on Tuesday it would be a huge shock.

- DRAW: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%

Most recent H2Hs: Good omens for Liverpool
The last time that Liverpool played Bayer Leverkusen in a competitive fixture was back in 2005 in the Champions League round of 16.

Current Bayer Leverkusen boss, Xabi Alonso, played for the Reds back then.

Player to watch: Mo Salah
Mo Salah is one of the three key Liverpool players whose contracts are due to expire in six months time and if Liverpool don't renew the Egyptian's contract then they will live to regret it based on how well he is still performing. The 32-year-old has scored nine goals and provided seven assists already this season and will be looking forward to taking centre stage again on Tuesday night.
