New Champions League club records will be achieved if Liverpool beat FC Midtjylland this evening.
Jürgen Klopp’s team head to Denmark for their final Group D fixture with progress to the last 16 via first place in the pool already assured.
And victory at Arena Herning would lead to them becoming the first Reds side to win five games in a single group-stage campaign. A haul of 15 points would also eclipse the 2008-09 team’s club record of 14.*

Liverpool have never won all three Champions League group-stage away games in 16 previous attempts and have also never completed a pool phase without conceding an away goal.
Billy Koumetio*(aged*18 years and 25 days)*could become the youngest player to represent the Reds in the European Cup/Champions League, beating the record of Antonio Barragan, who was 18 years and 59 days old when he appeared in 2005.
Diogo Jota is responsible for 50 per cent of the goals scored by Liverpool players in Europe this season.*
Jota is one of five players who have netted four times for the club in a Champions League group stage. Roberto Firmino’s total of six in 2017-18 leads the way, with Mohamed Salah (five in 2017-18), Philippe Coutinho (five in 2017-18) and Steven Gerrard (five in 2008-09) next.

Liverpool have kept five clean sheets in their last six Champions League group games and are looking to record a third successive shutout across all competitions for the first time since February.
No LFC player started all five previous Group D fixtures, though seven (Firmino, Jota, Sadio Mane, Andy Robertson, Salah, Georginio Wijnaldum and Rhys Williams) featured in all five.
Wijnaldum (368) has played the most minutes for the Reds in Europe in 2020-21. Robertson, on 365, is a close second.*
