Team News

Lionel Messi is expected to miss out with an adductor problem, however, the Argentinian may be able to make the bench. Ousmane Dembele is also returning from injury and has only recently returned to training meaning he is unlikely to feature.

Inter boast an injury-free squad with Alexis Sanchez expected to make the starting line-up after scoring twice before being sent off against Sampdoria last week.

Barcelona 0-1 Inter Milan

Hwang drags just wide!

Salzburg are not giving this up and they almost cut the deficit to one after good pressing sees them win the ball back high up the pitch.

Salzburg score!

The ball is clipped in from the right-side and Minamino coverts with a brilliant half-volley. 

He gets a great connection on the ball and sends the ball flying past Adrian. The away end is absolutely bouncing.

From 3-0 down to 3-2. Could they?

Worth noting that the scoreboard earlier accidentally showed 3-3 after Salzburg's first goal.

What a chance! Liverpool are on very thin ice here!

It's a horrible miss in the end from Hwang, who tries to be way too precise and find the near-post corner.

Liverpool 3-3 RB Salzburg

Lille 1-1 Chelsea

Barcelona 0-1 Inter Milan

THEY'VE DONE IT!

This is absolutely incredible! From 3-0 down, they've pulled themselves back against the European Champions!

It's the super-sub, the man of the moment for Salzburg....Erling Braut Haland. He'd only just come on!

Anfieldstanbul!

The away end is deafening, the manger has joined in the celebrations and Anfield is stunned.

Jordan Henderson is replaced by James Milner.

Jurgen Klopp could really do with not losing this.

Suarez equalises!

It's a powerful volley from the edge of the area, the kind which very few goalkeepers are saving and Barcelona are back in this.

Origi is on for Wijnaldum.

Elsewhere Osmane Dembele is getting ready to join the action for Barcelona.

Things look to be wide open. More on that once the madness ends.

Liverpool are rattled and Adrian almost gets himself into trouble again.

The noise from the home supporters has increased and there is a little more urgency from the side in red.

Lille probably look the more likely to score as Benjamin Andre heads just wide for the hosts.
