RSC Anderlecht will challenge FC Liverpool this evening. After a long row of ten successive defeats in the Champions League, the Mauves are eager to win at least one point in England.


The statistics are negative for Anderlecht:

* Liverpool gave away only 6 goals in their last 15 home matches. Anderlecht was not able to score a single goal in this Champions League campaign.
