Evening all, and welcome to Red Bull Salzburg (yeah, I know) v Liverpool!

On BT, they're talking about Erling Brut Haaland. I like the look of him I must say, though Owen is saying he's not excited to see him because he doesn't have an outstanding attribute. What if he's not just a sprinter, who's got a first touch, some skill, and doesn't aggravate supporters of every club he's ever played for?

Liverpool might be taking this game seriously but Michael Owen is not.

Keita,of course, once played for Red Bull. Klopp will be hoping - for about the fourth time - that this run of games will finally see him recapture the form that got him to Anfield. We've seen so little of it as to be ridiculous - the absence of a player like him is why Liverpool didn't win the league last season - and if he can't find it this season, you've got to wonder about his future.

Klopp says Liverpool need to show that they're ready, and Keita impressed at the weekend, though is alos right for this game - "an easy decsision".

As for Liverpool, Lovren partners Van Dijk again and Alexander-Arnold has his spot back from Gomez, while in midfield Keita keeps his place; Wijnaldum replaces Milner and Mane comes back for Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Obviously Haaland is Salzburg's key man, but don't sleep on Hwang who can also play.

Ok, let's have ourselves some teams!

I'm looking forward to this one. I've not seen Erling Brut Haaland play a full 90 yet, so there's that. But there's also a group to be finalised. Liverpool go through with a draw, or a defeat if Napoli lose at home to Genk. But if Napoli draw and Liverpool lose, the holders are out; if Napoli win, the lowest-scoring defeat able to save Liverpool is 5-4. Kapiche?
