LIVE: Liverpool vs AC Milan

The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away! 

Liverpool and Milan have only met on two previous occasions in European competition, with both coming in the final of the Champions League. The Reds won 3-2 on penalties in 2005 before losing 1-2 in normal time in 2007.

Stefano Pioli makes three changes to his team after their win over Lazio last time out, with Kjaer, Bennacer and Saelemaekers all brought into the team. Romagnoli, Tonali and Florenzi start on the bench, where Giroud is also named after recovering from coronavirus.

Jurgen Klopp makes four changes to the side that beat Leeds United on Sunday. Gomez makes his first start since last November after recovering from knee surgery, with Keita, Henderson and Origi also coming in. Van Dijk, Mane and Thiago drop to the bench, while Harvey Elliott is ruled out due to a dislocated ankle he suffered in that match.

MILAN SUBS: Andreas Jungdal, Pierre Kalulu Kyatengwa, Alessio Romagnoli, Olivier Giroud, Alessandro Florenzi, Matteo Gabbia, Ciprian Tatarusanu, Daniel Maldini, Fode Ballo-Toure, Sandro Tonali.

MILAN STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Mike Maignan; Davide Calabria, Simon Kjaer, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Franck Kessie, Ismael Bennacer; Alexis Saelemaekers, Brahim Diaz, Rafael Leao; Ante Rebic.

LIVERPOOL SUBS: Adrian, James Milner, Caoimhin Kelleher, Curtis Jones, Sadio Mane, Thiago Alcantara, Virgil van Dijk, Takumi Minamino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Nathaniel Phillips, Ibrahima Konate.

LIVERPOOL STARTING XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, Andy Robertson; Naby Keita, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson; Mohamed Salah, Divock Origi, Diogo Jota.

Liverpool have made an unbeaten start to their season, winning three and drawing one of their opening four games in the Premier League, keeping three clean sheets in that run. They're looking to get out of a tough group that also contains Porto and Atletico Madrid to try and improve on last season when they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Real Madrid. Milan are making their first appearance in the Champions League in eight years and come into this game having made a perfect start to Serie A with three wins out of three so far.
