Already eliminated Liverpool host Fiorentina on Wednesday evening hoping to end a disappointing UEFA Champions League campaign with a win in Group E to lift the Anfield faithful.

The Reds were dumped out of the competition in the last round of matches when Fiorentina's narrow 1-0 win over Olympique Lyon rendered their 1-0 win at Debrecen meaningless.

Elimination at the very first hurdle was a bitter pill to swallow for Rafa Benitez's men, but after a poor campaign which saw them defeated twice, few Kop fans can claim that their sides early exit was unjust.

A poor showing on Matchday 2 saw Fiorentina seal a terrific 2-0 win at the Stadio Artemio Franchi courtesy of two goals by highly-rated striker Stevan Jovetic, and Cesare Prandelli’s men will be looking to ensure that they go into the draw for the last 16 as group winners.

The Italians currently top Group E on 12 points, two ahead of OL, who play the group's whipping boys Debrecen in France, meaning that the Tuscan side may need to win to avoid being overhauled by the French giants.

For Liverpool revenge is firmly on their minds and a win will go a long way towards banishing the memories of a poor showing against Blackburn on Saturday afternoon.

Team News:

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez may use the clash as an opportunity to ring in the changes ahead of Sunday's crucial match with Arsenal at Anfield.

Kop fans will be delighted that midfielder Alberto Aquilani will be given his first European start having yet to kick a UEFA Champions League ball in anger.

Striker Fernando Torres is still short of match fitness to start, but may feature at some point.

Fiorentina are without Romanian striker Adrian Mutu who is still recovering from a knee injury.

Montenegrin starlet Stevan Jovetic will be raring to go as will midfielder Marco Marchionni as the Viola plot another famous win against the Reds.
