If there is to be a match-winner for the Merseysiders, crafty Coutinho is the man to make the difference versus Kazan. Renowned for his sensational strikes as if from nowhere, the brilliant Brazilian attacker turned the tide against rivals Chelsea last time out with a barnstorming brace to help the Reds to a 3-1 victory, and will be keen do the same in Russia.
Speaking of his winner against the Blues, Coutinho commented: “I was glad to score again and help the team. I’m always looking to improve and I hope from now on I’ll continue improving, not only me, but the team, which is the most important thing.”

“He was cool enough in the right moment, to shoot at the right moment. That is his quality of course. I love this player. Who doesn’t love Phil?”, added the enthusiastic German of his goal hero.
As for Klopp himself, the tactician has undeniably given Merseyside a jolt, and remains undefeated since taking over the reins. Buoyed by beating the Blues and having called up a roster to Russia including big-guns such as Coutinho and Christian Benteke, Liverpool will expecting to take all three points from their tussle with the Tartars.
As for their foes, Rubin Kazan have been fallen giants this season, as they sit 12th in their domestic league, having taken just 13 points from 14 games.
The Republic of Tartarstan team have also conceded 21 times, so their wobbly rearguard will undoubtedly be on the Reds’ radar.
