Live coverage of Liverpool's Uefa Cup second-round, first-leg tie against Slovan Liberec at Anfield introduced by Gary Lineker.

Having squeezed past Rapid Bucharest on aggregate in the first round, Liverpool face a rising Czech side who will be keen to upset the odds in what is undoubtedly one of the biggest games in their history. The current Czech Cup holders, Slovan are also forging ahead in the domestic league. Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has already identified their Argentinian striker Leandro Lazzaro Liuni as a man to watch closely.

On paper, though, Liverpool should be too strong for their opponents, who despite their current upsurge have no players from the Czech national team. The Reds' side is jam-packed with internationals; two of them, Patrick Berger and Vladimir Smicer, both represented the Czech Republic at Euro 2000. Commentary comes from John Motson, with summaries from Trevor Brooking, while Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson provide analysis in the studio.
