Looking at Tuesday's Champions League schedule, it's easy to see that the most challenging trips in the third round will be to Victoria (to Munich), Copenhagen (to Manchester), Shakhtar (to Madrid) and Rangers, who will be forced onto the pitch at Anfield. There are many ways to look at the Reds' form at the start of the current season, but the club has such potential that they cannot be underestimated in any circumstance. The odds on Klopp's side to win the British derby are as low as 1.15, leaving the visitors with virtually no chance of even a draw.

Liverpool are really not doing well at the moment. The vice-champion of England has won just twice in the seven Premier League rounds played, which looks like a disastrous result for the Reds in recent seasons. That said, it should be noted that the Merseyside club remain quite formidable in front of their fans. In five games at Anfield, Liverpool have won three, including a 9-0 win over Bournemouth and draws with Crystal Palace and Brighton. With the Glovers, the result of the game was affected by the Reds' suspension, while the misfiring against Brighton took place last Saturday - just after the national teams' games, period. There's no shame in losing points against the Seagulls now, and Belgian midfielder Leandro Trossard was unstoppable with a hat-trick.

Rangers narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification with stalwart Union St-Gillois and PSV, but at the group stage, Scottish vice-champion Rangers clearly underlined their lack of class to be successful in Europe's elite tournament. Van Bronckhorst's side lost away to Ajax 0-4, while Napoli lost 0-3 at home. When you consider the equally devastating defeat to Celtic in the first leg in September, it makes you fear for Rangers before the visit to Liverpool.

Klopp's team had the opportunity to regain their game-winning touch against Brighton after the return of players from their national teams. In addition, Rangers will come to Anfield without a number of key players: Hajdi, Lawrence and Sands. We'll bet on a convincing win for the home side.
