Klopp reaction

"We didn't finish our situations off like we could and should have done. That keeps the game pretty exciting. The longer the game goes the more the momentum goes to the other team. 'Job done' is the headline from the game, pretty much."

Ox on first-half knock

"It's just a kick. Millie has them every day and gets on with it, so no excuses! It's just a kick," the midfielder told BT Sport post-match at Anfield.

It's full-time in Naples and the hosts have drawn 1-1 with Salzburg, meaning Liverpool have moved to the summit of Group E tonight.

Three minutes added on.

Liverpool break away and Wijnaldum turns a pass from Origi forward to the run of Salah. The Egyptian is crowded out in the box and can't quite get the ball out of his feet - and the chance passes.

We're into the last 10 minutes of normal time at Anfield and the Reds still have some work to do to get over the line, with Genk creating a couple of chances as they slowly push forward for an equaliser.

Liverpool are well on top and pushing for a third goal to hopefully seal a win here.

Alexander-Arnold is the latest to go for it, but his left-footed drive from the edge of the box sails into the Kop.

Good chance.

Dewaest tries to shepherd the ball away from Salah 20 yards from goal but it rolls through him to the Liverpool No.11 - whose effort after running free lacks the power to trouble Coucke.

Close.

The same duo almost combine, but Salah's through pass on the angle just has too much on it for Oxlade-Chamberlain to reach before the goalkeeper.

Origi holds up the ball and moves into space around 25 yards from goal before trying an ambitious low hit that Coucke stops with a dive and collects at the second chance.

Napoli have levelled against Salzburg in the other Group E tie, meaning the section looks like this as it stands...

The stats from the opening 45 minutes at Anfield...

One last effort from Liverpool in the half as Alexander-Arnold clips a cleared corner back into the box. Van Dijk meets the ball with a flicked header wide to the right.

Big chance for Origi but he can't convert.

Keita slips a clever pass into the Belgian's position on the left side of the area and his touch opens up space for the strike - only for him to drag it away from goal.

Keita keeps a corner alive just outside the Genk area and finds room for a prod at goal that drifts off target.

Salah then capitalises on a defensive error and sweeps a first-time shot in search of the corner but is also wide.

Just wide from Salah.

The forward cutely creates space in the box with a fine touch from Milner's square pass into the middle, but his low drive across the goalkeeper flies the wrong side of the right post.

A brief scare as Oxlade-Chamberlain stays down after a strong challenge by Berge to stop the Liverpool man's surge through the middle.

But the No.15 is back up and running.

Unlucky!

Oxlade-Chamberlain gets sight of goal 20 yards out and twists and turns repeatedly before electing to shoot - only for a defender to block at the last.

Match shot

Gini the goalscorer.

Another flowing move from the Reds switches the ball quickly from their own half to the opposition territory and eventually Keita is afforded two efforts from a narrow angle - and Genk clear both.

The Reds are in control here and a neat move from around the Genk area leads to a shooting chance for Milner, but it's straight down the throat of the goalkeeper.

Elsewhere, Salzburg have taken a 1-0 lead at Napoli in the other Group E game this evening.

Match shot

Early exchanges.

Good footwork from Wijnaldum along the right flank creates space for a cross but the ball is not close enough for Origi to connect in the box.

Fireworks are intermittently going off around the stadium but there's little action of note to report from the pitch yet.

A reminder of tonight's two line-ups...

Almost time

You'll Never Walk Alone is complete and we await the arrival of the two teams onto the pitch.

TEAM NEWS

Liverpool have made six changes to the line-up for tonight's clash with Genk from the XI deployed at Aston Villa on Saturday.

It means there are starts for Joe Gomez, James Milner, Fabinho, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Divock Origi.

Jordan Henderson is absent as he recovers from a bout of illness.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Milner, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Salah, Origi.

Subs: Adrian, Lovren, Firmino, Mane, Lallana, Robertson, Jones.

The scene...

... is very much set.

Anfield nights...

Origi reflects

Divock Origi's football upbringing took place at the academy of Genk, with the striker receiving a warm reception when he came on as a substitute at the KRC Genk Arena last month.

Speaking in tonight's matchday programme, the No.27 has nothing but good things to say about his former club.

"It was very good for me, the best place I could be, and I learnt a lot," he says.

"They have the best youth academy in Belgium and they work so hard on developing young players both technically and tactically so it was a great experience for me. I was there until I was 15 when I moved to France to join Lille.

"My dad played there and was a champion with Genk so it's a bit of an emotional game for me."

Origi added: "It was nice to get on the pitch when we played there a couple of weeks ago and the fact that the Genk supporters received me well meant a lot.

"Even when we were warming down after the game some of their fans had stayed in the stadium and acknowledged me. It was nice to get a reception from the fans.

"Genk is very much a family club and I think you can compare it with Liverpool in that regard. They have very good values."

The EFL have also released a statement regarding Liverpool's Carabao Cup tie with Aston Villa, which you can read by clicking here.

Liverpool FC statement on Carabao Cup tie with Aston Villa

Liverpool Football Club can confirm our Carabao Cup quarter-final tie at Aston Villa will take place on Tuesday December 17, 2019.

As a result, we will be utilising two playing squads simultaneously, with one squad participating in the FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar and another in the Carabao Cup.

The club would like to take this opportunity to underline that while this is not an ideal scenario, it is an outcome which was arrived at with the best interests of the competition, our fellow clubs and ourselves as the sole motivating factor.

We would like to thank the EFL for their efforts to accommodate us and we can confirm alternative dates were discussed, but ultimately none were considered suitable without compromising the scheduling of the competition itself or placing an undue strain on our playing staff.

Full ticket details for this fixture will follow on Liverpoolfc.com.

Liverpool U19s beaten by stoppage-time goal

Genk scored in the 93rd minute to claim a 1-0 Youth League win at the Academy this afternoon.

Here's how Group E shapes up ahead of the fourth round of matches, with Salzburg away to Napoli in the pool's other fixture.

'It's a big dream coming true'

Genk midfielder Sander Berge can't wait to take the field this evening as he hopes for a much better result against the Reds this time around.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday, the 21-year-old said: "I never thought I would play at Anfield with Genk. I am happy to be here.

"It's a big dream coming true to play the best team in the world and at Anfield it is something special.

"They are known for having maybe the best fans in the world and will make sure we do better than last time."

Tonight's programme cover...

Salah to emulate Gerrard?

Mohamed Salah could emulate a feat only previously achieved for Liverpool by Steven Gerrard if he scores against Genk this evening.

The No.11 is one strike away from reaching 20 in the European Cup for the club and would be only the second player, after Gerrard, to reach the milestone with the Reds.

Liverpool ran out 4-1 winners in Belgium when they met tonight's opponents a fortnight ago.

Klopp's Genk selection plans 

We caught up with the boss on Monday and he reported no fresh injury concerns following the weekend win at Aston Villa.

However, the quick turnaround from that game is likely to result in changes to Liverpool's team tonight.

“We will hopefully have a couple of fresh legs in,” Klopp said.

“It’s clear that we want that, but it’s not like we will do so many changes that you cannot recognise our team anymore and think, ‘Who is that?’”
