Touchline duel Rafa Benítez v Andras Herczeg
The Liverpool manager will be as intense as ever, knowing his team cannot afford to slip up in a game which, while it may appear a gimme, they simply cannot afford to drop points in. His opposite number, a former title winner with Debrecen as a player, has already succeeded where managers have failed for 14 years, by getting a Hungarian side into the group stages
Key Clash Fernando Torres v Mirsad Mijadinoski
The towering centre back, Debrecen’s big summer signing, will rarely have faced stiffer opposition, having spent all of his career in Switzerland and Eastern Europe. Despite his three goals in five games, Torres has looked a little off the pace at times this season, though Debrecen will know that has to change at some point.
Talking tactics
Rafa Benítez is unlikely to want to risk trampling the green shoots of Liverpool’s recovery, so will no doubt resist the temptation to give some of his more senior players an evening off. The Spaniard has commanded his team to start at a higher tempo than last season to try to kill games off, and Debrecen are likely to start cautiously in the hope of weathering the storm.
