Bart Goor v Luis Garcia
Bart Goor has been a vital component in Anderlecht's midfield so far this season, and is expected to push forward to try to prevent Anderlecht from losing their 10th successive Champions League game.
Luis Garcia should be looking to score against Anderlecht, as he has a keen eye for goal, as well as possessing great technical skills. He could be a crucial player if he plays to the best of his ability.
Anthony Vanden Borre v Djibril Cisse
France striker Djibril Cisse could tear the Anderlecht defence apart if he uses his blistering pace coupled with excellent ball control. Joint top Liverpool scorer with Steven Gerrard.
Anthony Vanden Borre is expected to be the defender given the job of trying to contain Cisse. The 17-year-old has the pace and skill to hunt down Cisse and prevent him from breaking through the Anderlecht rearguard.
Mbo Mpenza v Jamie Carragher
One of the most crucial players in the Liverpool rearguard, Jamie Carragher, will use his brilliant man-marking and tackling skill to try to restrain prolific goalscorer Mbo Mpenza.
In-form Mbo Mpenza scored in three of Anderlecht's four qualifying games, showing that he is just as dangerous as his younger brother Emile, for skill, pace and strength.
