The game takes place Rhein-Neckar-Arena and kick-off is scheduled for 19:45 (GMT). For those of you in the UK, the game can be watched on BT Sport.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp suffered a double injury blow during the lead up to the game. England international duo Daniel Sturridge and Nathaniel Clyne are expected to miss tonight’s clash.
