Liverpool host Slovenian side Maribor at Anfield on Wednesday night, in the Reds’ 369th European match.
Reds’ Recent European Record
Liverpool have suffered defeat in just 2 of their last 20 European games, while Jurgen Klopp has lost 2 of his 18 in charge of the Reds in the Champions League/Europa League.
The Reds are unbeaten in the last 11 European group games, winning 3 with 8 draws.
They are looking to progress from their group for the first time in 3 Champions League campaigns. They failed to progress in 2009-10 and again in 2014-15.
Liverpool are unbeaten in the first 3 games of a Champions League group stage for the first time since 2008-09.
Last Time in Maribor
In the meeting in Slovenia a fortnight ago Liverpool scored 4 first half goals for the first time since December 2006 in the Premier League at Wigan. They had never previously achieved the feat in Europe.
The 7-0 scoreline was the biggest away win by any English club in the history of the European Cup.

Firmino Firepower
Roberto Firmino, with 5, has scored more goals in Europe for the Reds than any other current player.
Maribor’s Domestic Form
The Slovenians are unbeaten in their domestic league this season having won 10 and drawn 4 of their 14 games, conceding just 8 goals.
