Liverpool boss Rodgers won't underestimate Basel

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers won't be underestimating Champions League opponents FC Basel.

The Reds are in Switzerland tonight for the clash.

"This is a football club that has won eight of the last 11 titles," said Rodgers, who continues to be without Daniel Sturridge. "They are the force of Swiss football. They produce very good players. They are used to winning.

"They play good football and when they come into this tournament, they come in with confidence. I watched them in the competition last season and they were very unfortunate not to qualify for the knockout phase. They have some very talented players. We know it is going to be a tough game."
