Is Liverpool vs RB Leipzig on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Champions League fixture

Liverpool go head-to-head with RB Leipzig in Budapest once more tonight as Jurgen Klopp’s side eye a place in the Champions League quarter-finals to keep their season alive.

The Premier League champions are watching their domestic crown escape their grasp but still have the chance to lift a trophy in Europe, especially given their 2-0 first-leg win over Leipzig.

That game, also held in the Puskas Arena, was decided by Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane’s ‘away’ goals.

What is the team news?

Roberto Firmino and Ozan Kabak missed out as Liverpool lost to Fulham at the weekend, with the pair also doubts for tonight’s game. Meanwhile, long-term absentees Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are all still sidelined.

Leipzig may have to make do without full-back Angelino, and Marcel Sabitzer and Willi Orban could also be missing for Julian Nagelsmann. Marcel Halstenberg, Konrad Laimer and Dominik Szoboszlai will not feature for the Bundesliga club, but Emil Forsberg could return after his absence in the first leg.

Given their torrid recent outings at Anfield, Liverpool might just be grateful to have a ‘home’ game in Budapest. Expect the Reds to advance here, but not necessarily without a scare. Liverpool 1-1 Leipzig.
