Brendan Rodgers’ side face the Swiss champions in a must-win assignment. Three points for the hosts would see qualification to the knockout playoffs in for the first time in Europe’s elite club competition for 13 years.

BSC Young Boys are already out of the Champions League despite only six games of eight being played in the new elongated format. Cataclysmic results in both domestic and European football means it has been a season to forget for the Bern club.

Saggi has only refereed two UEFA Champions League matches this season; Bologna v Shakhtar Donetsk in early September and then Sturm Graz v Girona in late November. Supporting Saggi on-field is fellow countryman Morten Jensen AR1, and Olav Dale AR2. Kristoffer Hagenes is fourth official. Manning VAR duties is Italian Marco Di Bello and taking the role as assistant VAR is German Benjamin Brand.
