  1. Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    Luis Diaz is chopped down on just outside the penalty area. Perfect for Trent Alexander-Arnold? Big chance for the Reds with a free-kick in a great spot.

  2. Sporting 0-1 Man City

    Erling Haaland looks in the mood tonight.

    Phil Foden hooks across from the left-hand side and the Norwegian hits it on the volley but Franco Israel makes the diving save down to his right.

    That's Haaland's fourth chance of the night. Surely one will find the net at some point?

    Another slow start from Liverpool at home, going to cost us eventually unless Slot works out a first half strategy.

  4. Alonso's message is clear

    Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Anfield

    Xabi Alonso and members of his Bayer Leverkusen support staff are constantly making the flat palm "calm down" signal to their players - especially at re-starts and when they have time in possession. They want nothing to encourage crowd involvement here and so far it has worked. Anfield is fairly subdued.

    The thought of the current United backline trying to play out is already causing my skin to crawl.

  6. CLOSE!

    Sporting 0-1 Man City

    Cleared off the line!

    Manchester City win another corner, their seventh of the match, and Phil Foden whips it into the far post.

    Erling Haaland's header back across looks like it's sure to find the back of the net but it's cleared off the line.

  7. 'Salah the out-ball for Liverpool'

    Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    Stephen Warnock
    Former Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    If you are Liverpool the long diagonal ball to Mo Salah is your out-ball. He is keeping his width so well and the wing backs are being dragged so narrow with the midfield runners.

  8. Vinicius Jr equalises for Real, Celtic trail Leipzig

    Real Madrid 1-1 AC Milan, Celtic 0-1 RB Leipzig

    The goals are flowing now as Vinicius Jr's road to the Ballon d'Or begins with the equaliser for Real Madrid against AC Milan from the spot.

    Up in Scotland, RB Leipzig have taken the lead at Celtic through Christoph Baumgartner. Follow the action from Celtic Park here.

  9. 'Slot has got a bit of tweaking to do'

    Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    Stephen Warnock
    Former Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Liverpool are just struggling to dominate the ball. We are 25 minutes or so in and Leverkusen have had 60% of the possession. Arne Slot has got a bit of tweaking to do here, exceptional from Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen.

  10. YELLOW CARD

    Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    Mohamed Salah spins past Aleix Garcia, who has his arms around the Egyptian and rugby-tackles him waist-high to the ground. No surprise to see the yellow card follow soon afterwards for the Leverkusen player.

    AC Milan scoring first at Bernabeu. Beware Real gave Dortmund a two-goal start then put five past them. Be afraid be very afraid!

    Bill, Liverpool

  12. Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    A painful one for Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface. Under pressure from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Boniface gets away and is able to shoot at goal, but it hits the side netting. His momentum then sees him slide off the pitch and he clatters into an advertising hoarding behind the goal and needs treatment.

  13. Sporting 0-1 Man City

    Josko Gvardiol finds Savinho with a lovely pass but the Brazilian's effort is blocked and turned behind for a corner.

    It's whipped into the far post but Gvardiol can't get his header on target.

  14. 'Van Dijk is lucky here'

    Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    Stephen Warnock
    Former Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I think Virgil van Dijk is lucky here. Jeremie Frimpong gets across him and van Dijk commits to it, kicking his leg and tangling with him. Whether Frimpong goes down a bit too easy is another thing.

  15. Sporting 0-1 Man City

    Woops. Almost a bit of a mess for Franco Israel.

    He receives a pass from his defender but Erling Halaand piles the pressure on and Israel almost gets in a bit of a scramble trying to nip it away from the Norwegian.

  16. Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    A penalty shout for Bayer Leverkusen as Jeremie Frimpong gets the wrong side of Virgil van Dijk, but it was an enthusiastic fall to the ground from Frimpong and he gets nothing.

  17. 'Frimpong in acres of space'

    Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    Stephen Warnock
    Former Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Lovely movement from Bayer Leverkusen and it is causing Kostas Tsmikas problems. Jeremie Frimpong is keeping his width so well, the midfield runners break through the pitch and they draw Tsmikas in. Frimpong is then released in acres of space to attack the box.

  18. Sporting 0-1 Man City

    Sporting are pegging Manchester City back a little, they look a bit more organised defensively.

    But, with that one-goal cushion, the visitors are happy to just pass the ball around.

    Mark Willis: A much better start from LFC than we mustered against Brighton at the weekend. But hoping for a similar outcome.

  20. Liverpool 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

    Ex-Arsenal man Granit Xhaka looks to curl one into the far corner 20 yards out for Bayer Leverkusen, but Virgil van Dijk gets his body in the way. The ball smashes into the Dutchman's face and momentarily knocks him down but not for long and he's back on his feet and fine.
