Bordeaux vs Liverpool

Brendan Rodgers will be eager to dampen the blow of the loss to Man United when Liverpool visit the Matmut Atlantique Stadium for a Europa League group opener against Bordeaux. He will probably do some rotations in the front and keep the same midfield from the Man Utd game. Some of the key players might be from the deeper side of Liverpool bench, as the status of Sturridge is still unknown, without their captain Henderson, and most important, Benteke will not play. Home team is also struggling with loads of injuries so they won't have their absolute best squad on the pitch as well. Opening game and a tough matchup, both teams should be wary of the overly offensive style for at least the first half, feel each other out and look for a 1 goal decider. Smaller stake for this one. Good Luck
