Previous meetings • The sides drew 1-1 at Anfield on 22 October. Marko Dević put the visitors in front, but, after Oleg Kuzmin's dismissal, Emre Can levelled to spare Klopp from defeat in his first home game in charge of the Reds. • Rubin's seven matches against English teams have ended W3 D2 L2 (W3 D0 L0 in Russia). Wigan Athletic FC, Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC all lost by one-goal margins away to Rubin. • Liverpool's record in 12 encounters with Russian sides is W6 D2 L4 (W2 D0 L3 away), those games including a 3-1 UEFA Super Cup victory against PFC CSKA Moskva, played in Monaco, in August 2005. They lost their last two matches in Russia without scoring. Form guide • Rubin are unbeaten at home in Europe this season (W1 D2). They have not scored more than one goal in each of their last six UEFA fixtures in Kazan. • Liverpool and PAOK FC are the only sides to have drawn all three of their group stage games this season. • Rubin navigated their way through to the round of 32 in all three of their previous UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns. • Liverpool advanced to the knockout phase in both of their previous UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns – in 2010/11 and 2012/13. Trivia and links • The journey from Liverpool to Kazan is around 3,300km. • Rubin midfielder Magomed Ozdoev turns 23 on the day of the game. The coaches • Both clubs have changed coaches since the group stage draw. • Valeri Chaly is in temporary charge at Rubin, following Rinat Bilyaletdinov's dismissal in September. A lower-league player in the Soviet Union, he was later a beach soccer and futsal trainer. Once coach of Moldova's FC Iskra-Stal, he joined Rubin after a short spell with FC Chayka Sevastopol's reserves. • Liverpool manager since 2012, Brendan Rodgers was sacked on 4 October after an uninspiring run of results. • Rodgers' replacement is former Borussia Dortmund coach Klopp. The 48-year-old enjoyed an immensely successful spell in charge at the Westfalenstadion, winning the Bundesliga in 2010/11, completing the double the following season and narrowly missing out against FC Bayern München in the 2013 UEFA Champions League final. 4 FC Rubin - Liverpool FC Thursday 5 November 2015 - 19.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Kazan Arena, Kazan Team facts FC Rubin Kazan Formed: 1958 Nickname: Tatarstantsi (The Tatarstan Side) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 2 (2009) Domestic cup: 1 (2012) Ten-year record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2013/14: round of 32 2012/13: quarter-finals 2011/12: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2010/11: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2009/10: round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: UEFA Intertoto Cup third round 2006/07: first round 2005/06: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0: Rubin v SV Zulte Waregem 03/10/13, UEFA Europa League group stage • Biggest away win 2-5: NK Maribor v Rubin 19/09/13, UEFA Europa League group stage 0-3 twice, most recently v Shamrock Rovers FC 15/09/11, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Rubin v SK Rapid Wien 26/08/04, UEFA Cup second qualifying round second leg • Heaviest away defeat 3-1 four times, most recently v Chelsea FC 04/04/13, UEFA Europa League quarter-final first leg 2-0 twice, most recently v FC Barcelona 07/12/10, UEFA Champions League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 4-0: Rubin v SV Zulte Waregem (see above) • Biggest away win 2-5: NK Maribor v Rubin (see above) 0-3: Shamrock Rovers FC v Rubin (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Rubin v SK Rapid Wien (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 3-1: Chelsea FC v Rubin (see above) Liverpool FC Formed: 1892 Nickname: The Reds UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup (5): 1977, 1978, 1981, 1984, (1985), 2005, (2007) 5 FC Rubin - Liverpool FC Thursday 5 November 2015 - 19.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Kazan Arena, Kazan • UEFA Cup (3): 1973, 1976, 2001 • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: (1966) • UEFA Super Cup (3): 1977, (1978), (1984), 2001, 2005 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 18 (1990) FA Cup: 7 (2006) League Cup: 8 (2012) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: UEFA Europa League round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA competition 2012/13: round of 32 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA competition 2010/11: round of 16 2009/10: semi-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2008/09: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2007/08: UEFA Champions League semi-finals 2006/07: UEFA Champions League runners-up 2005/06: UEFA Champions League round of 16 Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 11-0: Liverpool v Strømsgodset IF 17/09/74, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 0-5 three times, most recently v FC Haka 08/08/01, UEFA Champions League third qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Liverpool v Real Madrid CF 22/10/14, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: AFC Ajax v Liverpool 07/12/66, European Champion Clubs' Cup second round first leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-0: Liverpool v Real Sociedad de Fútbol 04/11/75, second round second leg • Biggest away win 3-5: BSC Young Boys v Liverpool 20/09/12, group stage 2-4: PFC Levskia Sofia v Liverpool 03/03/04, third round second leg 1-3 three times, most recently v FC Unirea Urziceni 25/02/10, round of 32 second leg 0-2 twice, most recently v AS Roma 15/02/01, fourth round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-2: Liverpool v Celtic FC 23/03/03, quarter-final second leg • Heaviest away defeat 3-0: RC Strasbourg v Liverpool 21/10/97, second round first leg 6 FC Rubin - Liverpool FC Thursday 5 November 2015 - 19.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Kazan Arena, Kazan Squad list FC Rubin Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No.
