Brendan Rodgers believes that Liverpool face a "very, very difficult" game when they travel to Hearts in the Europa League on Thursday.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that his team face a "very, very difficult" game when they travel to Hearts in the Europa League.

The Reds make the trip across the border to Tannadice on Thursday for the first leg of their qualifier.

"Hearts will be a very, very difficult game for us," Rodgers told reporters. "I've still taken a squad here that is a strong group.

"It will be a difficult game. Tynecastle is a wonderful, tight little ground and supporters will be behind their team and there are some good players."

The Merseysiders beat Belarusians FC Gomel 4-0 on aggregate in the last round.
