Liverpool have been impressive in Slot's first season in charge so far, beating Ipswich, Brentford, Manchester United, Bournemouth and, most recently, Wolves in the Premier League to sit top, one point clear of Manchester City and Arsenal.

The Reds' only setback came in a shock 1-0 home league defeat to Nottingham Forest, which was quickly followed up by a 3-1 victory at AC Milan as they began their European campaign in style.

Bologna are 13th in Serie A with just one win from their first six games.

Vincenzo Italiano's side's sole success came against Monza, while they have claimed draws against Udinese, Empoli, Como and, on Saturday, Atalanta, as well as suffering a 3-0 defeat at Napoli.

They kicked off their debut UEFA Champions League campaign with a respectable 0-0 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk at home and are now preparing for their first-ever competitive meeting with six-time European champions Liverpool.
