And another award!

Virgil van Dijk is confirmed as the winner of the 2018-19 Champions League Defender of the Season!

"We all deserved [the trophy]," he said upon collecting the honour.

"This season it starts all over again. We want to compete and try to defend the cup; there are so many great teams but we're going to fight for it."

Liverpool have been placed in Group E.

First up...

... is the 2018-19 Champions League Goalkeeper of the Season award - and it's won by Alisson Becker!

The Liverpool stopper was in incredible form to help the club clinch the trophy in his first season at Anfield, including a vital last-minute save against Napoli in the group stage and numerous crucial interventions in the final.

Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk arrive at the draw...

Training first

Liverpool's latest pre-Burnley training session coincides with the Champions League draw this evening, meaning a slight delay before the players will learn of their group-stage opponents.

The scene is set

90 minutes to go

Not long to wait now until the draw gets under way, with 5pm BST the scheduled start time.

More selfies...

This time Alisson Becker obliges.

The big man

Van Dijk is on the three-man shortlist for UEFA's 2018-19 Men's Player of the Year prize after an outstanding campaign for club and country.

The centre-back, who scooped the PFA Players' Player of the Year and Premier League Player of the Season prizes, was a formidable presence in the Reds defence en route to glory in Madrid.

Van Dijk was almost ever-present as Liverpool collected 97 Premier League points and also helped Netherlands reach the UEFA Nations League final.

But first...

Virgil van Dijk poses for selfies with football fans outside the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.

Here's Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker stepping off a helicopter in Monaco just moments ago.

Looking good, lads.

Super European champions

Liverpool have already played a European tie this season, of course, securing UEFA Super Cup success after a penalty shootout victory over Chelsea. Relive the story of that game below...

Familiar foes?

Liverpool are able to draw two of their opponents from last season's group stage again this year, with Serie A side Napoli in Pot 2 and Red Star Belgrade in Pot 4.

Could there be an immediate Anfield reunion for Simon Mignolet? The former Reds goalkeeper's new team, Club Brugge, booked their place in the group stage via the play-offs.

Klopp's take on the competition

The manager has spoken about the depth of quality throughout the four pots for today's draw.

"I don't think there was ever a stronger pot two. It is just crazy. They should all be in pot one, but there is not enough space there," Klopp told reporters.

"I don't think there was ever a stronger pot three. Then pot four you can get RB Leipzig - wow!"

Another Youth League adventure

Liverpool's U19s will learn their opponents for the UEFA Youth League today, too, with that competition replicating the draw for the Champions League group stage.

So Barry Lewtas' side will again face the same three teams as Jürgen Klopp's seniors as they aim to progress in Europe. Lewtas is set to be assisted by U23s boss Neil Critchley once more.

Match dates

We'll bring you confirmed dates and kick-off times for Liverpool's Champions League games shortly after the draw is concluded, but we do already know the weeks when the Reds will be in European action.

Matchday one: September 17/18
Matchday two: October 1/2

Every goal en route to glory

While we wait for the draw to begin later, why not enjoy every Reds goal on their journey to that unforgettable success in Madrid in June? We've got you covered in the compilation below...

Fabinho's feeling

After lifting the European Cup in his first season with the club, Fabinho is feeling confident about Liverpool's prospects for the 2019-20 edition.

Asked about today's draw, the midfielder told us: "The Champions League is a special competition and we're the reigning champions, so there's always going to be a lot of expectation about who we're going to come up against. We're relaxed about it.

"We're fully aware that when we return from this international break there will be a more intense fixture schedule with midweek games, but that's good - we like it.

"As we're the reigning champions, all the other teams are going to focus much more on us, they'll know more about our team.

"We're excited about this season's competition. We know how strong the team is and, as always, we have to work hard and with confidence."

Last season

Jürgen Klopp's side faced Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade in the group stage a year ago. But how much can you remember about those games? Take our tricky quiz to find out...

The draw

As reigning champions, Liverpool are in Pot 1 for today's draw and will be placed in a section with one team from each of the other three pots below - but they cannot face Tottenham Hotspur from Pot 2.
