Anfield is famous for nights like this - and the fans' aim will be to ensure Basel are completely overwhelmed by the sense of occasion.
While Paulo Sousa's side have proved a tough nut to crack at home during this Champions League campaign, they have lost both away games, against Real Madrid and Ludogorets Razgrad, and the Reds should have enough firepower to make it three defeats.
