With Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain the other two teams in Group B – who beat the Belgian champions 3-0 and the Bhoys 5-0 respectively in the opening round of fixtures – it could be difficult to pick up bonuses in the other games.

So the Purple and White will be viewing this match at home against Brendan Rodgers’ men as a great way to earn some extra cash, even if they are experiencing something of a turmoil at the club currently.
