The Reds kicked off their campaign with a disappointing 2-2 home draw with Sevilla.
Spartak, meanwhile, were held to a 1-1 draw at Maribor in matchday one of the UCL.
That game in Slovenia was marred as Spartak fans throw a flare at the referee.
The missile luckily missed the official, while UEFA have since fined the Russians for the bad behaviour of their fans.
Jurgen Klopp’s side picked up their first league win in just under a month away at Leicester last night.
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring before a stunning free-kick from Philippe Coutinho doubled their lead.
After Shinji Okazaki pulled one back before half-time, Jordan Henderson gave the Reds another two-goal cushion with just over 20 minutes to play.
But Jamie Vardy reduced the deficit a minute later to make it a nervy climax to the game for the away side, with Vardy missing a penalty for the Foxes in a frantic end.
Now Liverpool turn their attention back to the Champions League with an away tie at Spartak Moscow on Tuesday.
On Saturday Spartak warmed up for the Liverpool game with a poor result at home.
The Russian champions had to come from behind to draw 2-2 with Anji.
The visitors took the lead in the second half with a goal that will make Liverpool’s forward salivate.
Anji launched an end to end counter attack which would leave Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah licking their lips about facing Spartak.
The draw has left Spartak sixth in the Russian top flight after 11 games of the season.
They are already ten points behind leaders Zenit.
