The hosts will be entering this contest after dropping their points to West Ham in a 1-1 draw in their recent Premier League outing before losing 0-1 to Monaco in their last Champions League clash.
Celtic, on the other hand, have already advanced to the playoffs of the competition for the first time since 2013 after picking an impressive 1-0 victory over Young Boys last Wednesday night.
