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.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!
Firmino flicks on Fabino's looping pass and Salah is on-hand to tuck it away from close-range. Liverpool lead again!

There's a lot to take in from the madness we're seeing here.
Firstly, it's likely to get lost in all the reaction, but Firmino has been brilliant for Liverpool. He's been key to everything that Klopp's side have done this evening.

Andre makes way from Renato Sanches, who you may remember from teams such as Swansea, Bayern Munich and Portugal in the 2016 Euros.
Lille are back on top.

Mane...so close! Alexander-Arnold's corner is met at the near post by Mane, looking for his second goal. He should really have scored but can't get a good connection on the low delivery.
That has echos of that goal against Barcelona.

Chelsea have 20 minutes to win this and send on Callum Hudson-Odoi for Reece James.

Mount almost doubles his and Chelsea's tally!
74: Willian is allowed to drift in from the right before sliding a simple pass to Mount. The attacking midfielder has space to shoot and has to settle for a corner after his cross-goal shot is parried away. Finely poised in France.

Alexis Sanchez is off, which feels odd given he seemed to be playing fairly well out there. Danilo D'Ambrosio is on in his place.

There's no doubt that the Premier League scouts will all be in attendance to watch Haland tonight, Norway's best striker to come to England since the mighty Alexander Sorloth...0 goals in 16 games for Crystal Palace - if you're counting.
