• Champions lost all three group matches on travels last season• Salah fit, but Alexander-Arnold and Matip miss trip to Genk
Jürgen Klopp has warned
Liverpool must improve away from Anfield in the
Champions League group phase as there will be no repeat of last season’s “lucky” qualification for the knockout stage.
The European champions visit Belgian champions Genk on Wednesday seeking a first away win in the group stage of the competition for over two years. Liverpool’s last group away win was the 7-0 defeat of Maribor in October 2017, their only victory in the last 10 such outings, while their last four trips at this stage have all ended in defeat, including last month’s Group E opener at Napoli.
