Jurgen Klopp takes charge of Liverpool at Anfield for the first time on Thursday when the three-time Uefa Cup winners host Russian outfit Rubin Kazan.

A disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Sion on matchday two left the Reds with just two points from their first two Group B fixtures, but the Anfield faithful will hope the arrival of Klopp can spark an upturn in fortunes.


"There are good players here. I saw many good things in my team," Klopp told Liverpool's club website after making his bow in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur.

"We don't have to sprinkle magic dust on them 'and now you can play football'. They know how to play," added the German, insisting that his squad simply needed time to click into gear.

Rubin, bottom of the group on one point, have also changed their coach since the group stage draw was made as Valeri Chaly took over as caretaker boss from Rinat Bilyaletdinov in September after the Kazan-based side lost six of their first seven league games.
