Scouting report: The lowdown on FC Midtjylland

Ahead of Liverpool's Champions League Group D clash with FC Midtjylland, we take a closer look at the innovative methods and continual progress that are reaping rich rewards for tonight's visitors to Anfield, at home and now in Europe.

Reigning Danish title-holders Midtjylland were formed just 21 years ago when two small clubs from the Jutland Peninsula decided to join forces.

The Wolves snarled their way to a first Superliga title in 2015 before proving they could bite as well as bark in the following season’s Europa League, beating Southampton in the qualifiers and only succumbing to Manchester United in the last 32 after a 2-1 first-leg win at their compact-but-atmospheric home, the MCH Arena.
