"I am really happy we play it now. Four weeks ago it would have been different," Jurgen Klopp told reporters ahead of the game.
"Life is all about timing. Maybe we found our feet in time. Hopefully, we can build on that, but now we need to play two super games."

You can watch the game on RTÉ 2 and the LiveScore app in Ireland, and on BT Sport in the UK. The match kicks off at 8 pm.
