Anzhi v Reds: LFC 1-0 win at 9/1

Brendan Rodgers will hope his team put in a repeat performance in the early kick-off at 5pm BST on Thursday night against Guus Hiddink's outfit.

Paddy Power make the home side slight odds-on favourites to win the game with LFC at 16/5 and the draw priced at 13/5. 

The teams met for the first time at Anfield and a repeat of the 1-0 win forthe Reds is 9/1 in Paddy Power's online betting, who also offer 6/1 that Liverpool win to nil.

Downing's 53rd minute strike was a goal worthy to win any game and the winger to score at any time and Liverpool to win is 16/1 in the online firm's Wincast section.

Liverpool's last away game in this competition saw them run out 5-3 winners against Young Boys in Switzerland.

An early own-goal from Juhani Ojala put Rodgers' ahead that night before strikes from Andre Wisdom, Sebastian Coates and two from Jonjo Shelvey - the Red's leading scorer in the Europa League to date - gave them all three points. 

An anytime own goal is 17/2 on Thursday night while the time of the first goal to be up to and including the 30th minute is even money money with Paddy Power.

Shelvey is 14/1 to be the game's first goalscorer and 8/1 to score first for Liverpool while Wisdom and Coates are 40/1 and 50/1 respectively to get the opening goal of the match.

If you fancy Shelvey to score two or more goals against the Russians, who  boast former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o and French international midfielder Lassana Diarra in their ranks - Paddy Power are offering 70/1.

Liverpool have scored the first goal in their last three Europa League contests and are 6/4 to get the opener again in Moscow. 

They have led at half-time in the games against Young Boys and Udinese and are 7/2 to lead at the break on Thursday in the Russian capital.
