FC Augsburg - Liverpool live updates

A half chance for Bobadilla as Sakho’s header falls to him on the edge of the box. He volleys into the ground and it bounces over Mignolet and the bar.

A first free kick to Liverpool following a foul on Firminho on the half way line. Not used effectively and Hitz has his first touch in the Augsburg goal.

All eyes will be on Messrs. Bobadilla and Sturridge tonight. Bobadilla shows early pace through the middle but the ball has just too much pace on it and Mignolet has it.

KICK-OFF! Referee David José Fernández Borbalán blows the whistle to get us underway here. 61 cards brandished in his last nine games! 4-3-2-1 for Augsburg, Liverpool 4-4-2.

FIVE MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: The teams are in the tunnel and about to make their way out onto the pitch. A massive night for Augsburg against a strong-looking Liverpool outfit. This promises goals.

Jurgen Klopp: "If I wasn't here and Augsburg play against Liverpool it is still the biggest game in their history. I don't think there is extra motivation because I am there but it is a special situation because it's Europa League and it's a small club that can earn a lot of money."

Augsburg are struggling in a Bundesliga relegation dogfight but the match is the biggest in their history. Coach Markus Weinzierl: "We're pleased that the game is finally here, and that we can concentrate on it 100%. It may perhaps be a slight advantage that I know Klopp. We have been following Liverpool closely but we will prepare for them in the same way as we do any other match."

Jurgen Klopp: "Sometimes you can look at winning a cup as the shortest way to get somewhere. For sure, the Europa League is not the shortest way to get to the Champions League. (But) the chance to qualify for the Champions League makes it more interesting."

No real surprises as Jurgen Klopp names a strong side for tonight’s clash following their FA Cup exit. The bench strengthened by the likes of Caulker, Lucas, Ibe, Origi, Benteke.

And here's how Augsburg will line-up tonight.
