After getting a Premier League win at the third time of asking, it is now onto the Champions League for Andoni Iraola and Liverpool - and they've got some familiar visitors on the way.
Diego Simeone brings Atletico Madrid to Anfield for the fourth time in six-and-a-half years, with Wednesday's clash kicking off this season's league phase just as it did last season's when the Reds won 3-2 thanks to a late Virgil van Dijk header.
Iraola will be hoping for a similar result this time around in what is his first Champions League match as a head coach, and he'll be here from 1pm to preview the clash along with Reds midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
Ian Doyle is at Anfield to hear from them both, and you can follow live updates here.
