Champions League Liverpool v Olympique Lyon

iverpool have conceded a mere three goals in 11 previous home games against French clubs. They won nine of those and have lost only once - 1-0 to Marseille two seasons ago in the Champions League.

Before their 2-0 defeat away to Fiorentina in their last game, Liverpool had an outstanding recent record against teams from abroad in the CL, winning 12 and drawing two of their last 14 matches.

Lyon have not won any of their last seven matches against English clubs and just one of the last 11, a 1-0 away victory over Blackburn Rovers in the 1998-99 UEFA Cup.

Lyon have won four of their last five European away games, scoring a total of 16 goals in those matches.
