Follow live coverage of the Europa League last-32 clash between Zenit St Petersburg and Liverpool, kick off 5pm Uk time.

Brendan Rodgers: "They were very disappointed (after a 2-0 loss to West Brom), like we all were, because we wanted to make our home form better in the league. We entered into the game against West Brom with the best defensive home record in the league, so that shows the mark of improvement we were making as a group. It's something that left the players disappointed, but they will react in the right manner.”

Luciano Spalletti on racism among some fans: "I have absolutely no limits on signing players and the club has never put (limits on black players) in place. We've signed (non-white) players like Hulk, Bruno Alves and Axel Witsel, and I don't know what category you want to put them in, we don't have any problems like that."

Liverpool are essentially full strength, with soon-to-retire defender Jamie Carragher starting alongside Martin Skrtel at centre-back, Dan Agger apparently dropped after a poor outing in the defeat to West Brom. Raheem Sterling gets the nod over Fabio Borini to start alongside Luis Suarez, while Stewart Downing also starts. January signings Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho were left at home as they are ineligible having played for Chelsea and Inter Milan respectively in Europe this season.

Both sides name very strong teams for this match. Zenit give a debut to new signing Luis Neto, although fellow January arrival Milan Rodic is on the bench. No major injury worries for Zenit.

TEAMS - Zenit: Malafeev, Anyukov, Lombaerts, Luis Neto, Hubocan, Shirokov, Denisov, Witsel, Danny, Kerzhakov, Hulk; Zhevnov, Rodic, Lukovic, Fayzulin, Semak, Evseev, Djordjevic /// Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Carragher, Enrique, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Downing, Suarez, Sterling; Subs: Jones, Coates, Lucas, Borini, Shelvey, Suso, Wisdom
