Liverpool travels to face LASK at the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz on Wednesday, Oct. 14, with kickoff set for 6:45 p.m. CEST. The match marks a UEFA Champions League fixture where the Reds look to bounce back following a weekend defeat, while the host side makes its first appearance in the tournament.
The fixture is scheduled for a 6:45 p.m. ET or 9:45 a.m. AEDT start on Thursday for viewers in Australia. Broadcasting options vary by region, with TNT Sports offering coverage in the UK, Paramount Plus providing plans in the US, DAZN covering viewers in Canada, and Stan Sport broadcasting the match in Australia.
Team Form and Standings
Liverpool heads into the match following a 0-3 defeat to Man City at Anfield, leaving the team ninth in the Premier League. Meanwhile, LASK enters the match after a 1-0 defeat away to AEK Athens in Gameweek 1. That loss preceded a slump in domestic form for the defending Austrian Bundesliga champions, who shifted from five straight victories to failing to register a win in their last three matches.
