GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Red Star Belgrade (Firmino, 20 min)

This is an excellent goal!










19 min: Salah rushes to the right and combines with Fabinho. But when Salah tries to turn on the edge of the box, Stojkovic stays firm and wins the ball.










17 min: Stojkovic falls on Mane's right leg to the right. No free kick. But Stojkovic gets up to win a Red Star corner. Visitors press. Ebecilio sends him and nobody in red allows to follow Babic's race in the depths. The defender has the right to infiltrate the penalty area and should give the lead to Red Star. Serbian heads are in Serbian hands.










16 min: We have not seen much of Liverpool's top three. To be fair, they do not get a lot of service. Ignorance in the midfield does not help.










15 minutes: "I see that the Swiss-Albanian playmaker of Liverpool, Xherdan Shaqiri, starts tonight against the opposition of Serbia," said Peter Oh. "In a recent international match between Switzerland and Serbia, he had to face a politically charged incendiary gesture during a celebration of goals. The gesture consisted of nesting his thumbs to make a two-headed eagle. Try it when you have a break after typing on your keyboard!










12 min: After a short delay, Borjan gets up, grimaces and points his left wrist when the referee comes to watch him. Let's go.










11 min: It's more like that since Liverpool, Shaqiri managed a superb pbad over Red Star defense to Salah. The Egyptian's control is good as the pbad disappears from the air but Borjan quickly dies to choke while Salah tries to take the ball around him. He is a brave guardian of Borjan and he is mistreated by Salah. He stays on the ground and needs treatment.

Update










10 minutes: Liverpool attacks consistently for the first time. Gomez wins the ball high and that leads to Firminho and Salah almost combine. The ball breaks in front of Firmino, who decides to attack a goal to the right of the surface. The shot, however, strikes Alexander-Arnold and runs away.










9 min: Red Star continues his search in half of Liverpool by making a few crosses in the zone. It's a little upset at Anfield for the moment. The Liverpool match has not been given yet.










6 min: Red Star has a good start. They are not sitting back. Liverpool has not yet found its place and visitors are looking to make the most of their fast possession.










5 min: Ben Nabhouane skilfully turns to the right and wins Robertson's free kick. A chance for Red Star. But Alexander-Arnold takes the free-kick.










4 min: IIn the other match of this group, it's PSG against Napoli. You can follow that here.










3 min: Salah tries to break the right flank, but Degenek sews the ball out of the game. Moments later, Boakye tries to run behind the Liverpool defense, but the flag is raised for offside.

Update










Peep! Red Star, in navy kits and heading to the Kop in the first period, launches the game. Liverpool are all in red. Jurgen Klopp wears a baseball cap. More other clothes. It is warm and warm. Very well too. It is starting to get cold. I have just sneezed.










Here are the teams. The mood is rather optimistic than feverish at Anfield tonight. Local fans are expecting some goals from their side. Red Star Belgrade will have other ideas. Anyway, it's the time of the anthem of the Champions League! Unfortunately, none of the players are singing. They can all expect a stern call from UEFA tomorrow.










Tottenham drew 2-2 with PSV Eindhoven in Group B. It's less than ideal. They could do with Barcelona breaking Internazionale now.










Jurgen Klopp speaks! "I do not know if you can expect an away win in Naples to be honest. I think home games in the Champions League, with the quality of the other teams, should not waste you time. We have to try everything to win the match to have a normal situation, which does not mean that we are halfway to the group. It only means that we have a normal situation, win two home games and lose a match on the outside. That's all. No more pressure. Just enough. Red Star was hard to break down in both games, although the result in the PSG game seemed different. It's a very experienced camp and they are used to getting results. They fight for results. That's what they will do now again. "










Liverpool brings five changes to the team that beat Huddersfield this weekend. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Gini Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane replace Dejan Lovren, James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana. They possess an impressive force in depth for the moment.

Preamble

Hello. Liverpool boring! After having worked hard with their freewheel attack last season, Jurgen Klopp's team was a little more cautious at the start of the campaign. They have only scored four goals in their last five games and have even opted for a 1-0 score against Huddersfield last weekend, suggesting that Klopp is turning into a response from the United States. Germany to George Graham before our eyes. Apparently, this amazing transformation is due to the fact that Liverpool is focusing more on eliminating the spirit of Loris Karius from Anfield for the moment. But it may be just because their main offensive talents are slightly out of shape at the moment. We know that happens.

Even then, this is a problem that needs to be resolved as soon as possible. The Liverpool movement has stalled in recent weeks and, although it has not had a major effect on its results in the Premier League, it is in a tense situation within his group League champions after hitting Napoli earlier this month. This defeat in Naples forced Klopp's team to work to qualify for the last 16 games, although they still occupy second place thanks to their record against Paris Saint-Germain.

It is tight in Group C and Liverpool must make the right choice with his double-header with the Red Star Belgrade, the so-called bad, before resuming hostilities with Napoli and PSG. The last time Red Star lost to PSG, he lost 6-1 to the French champions, but he held Napoli in his first match. They will come up with a plan to frustrate. Klopp could be content with Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane to put on their shooting boots in front of a crowd expected from Anfield tonight.

Start: 8 pm local time
