The home side make a change as Dani Abalo goes off, to be replaced by Brazil-born forward Junior Quixada.

Darius Basu:, external Considering Mourinho's abandoned his bus this season, can we (Liverpool) borrow it for now. On loan/transfer anything.

Stevey Gee Sings:, external Couple of LFC goals now to get that goal difference up, into 2nd place. Come on Redmen!

"Raheem Sterling again ran at the full-back and went past him so easily. Liverpool must keep giving the ball to him - he's making things happen."

Oh my. Jordan Henderson's blushes are spared by the referee's whistle as Raheem Sterling races into the area, clips the ball over the goalkeeper and to the far post where Rickie Lambert's header is blocked in front of goal. Henderson, though, blazes the follow-up over the bar from barely six yard but, fortunately for the midfielder, a free-kick to Ludogorets had already been given.

"Steven Gerrard has been good tonight, he has been bright and his passing is great. What will be interesting is when Daniel Sturridge is fit, will they keep Gerrard in there?"

Lucky escape for Liverpool? Glen Johnson is penalised for a foul on Mihail Alexandrov, the referee awards a free-kick just outside the area, but it looked like to may have occurred in the area. The free-kick is then curled just over the bar, but Ludogorets will probably feel they should have had a penalty.

Umer:, external Can't take eyes of the Liverpool game until they score another four goals at least!

Chris Hall:, external Liverpool are huffing and puffing but will probably pull this off.

Arsenal score again and it is a more familiar name on the scoresheet as Alexis Sanchez curls the ball into the far corner. Find out more in our dedicated live coverage of that game.

Juventus have put themselves in pole position to join Atletico Madrid from Group A in the knockout stages. Fernando Llorente has burst through the Malmo defence from Claudio Marchisio's through ball four minutes into the second half to break the deadlock in Sweden. Malmo will be eliminated as things stand.

Steven Gerrard curls in a free-kick towards the far post, but Ludogorets keeper Vladislav Stoyanov strides off his line to claim the ball. Rickie Lambert then tries to send Raheem Sterling away, but the youngster is stopped in his tracks by a booming, but fair, challenge.

James, London: These fickle fans are forgetful as well. Have you completely forgotten Reina's two seasons before we loaned him to Napoli? He was making just as many mistakes as Mignolet. In fact many fans were starting to turn on him before we loaned him!

Lazza the Red: Bring back Rafa-the-Gaffa: All is forgiven!

Leon Liverpool: No English teams won a fortnight ago, can they all do it this time around?

There is not really an indication yet that Liverpool are aiming to build on their slender advantage as Steven Gerrard casually feeds a pass to Raheem Sterling, who lazily juggles the ball in front of an opponent and subsequently loses possession.

Even a draw won't change the scenario for Liverpool in the final group game as things stand. Simply put, they will need to beat Basel to take second - as long as the Swiss side are beaten by Real tonight - but a win against Ludogorets would certainly do their confidence some good.

Glyn Jones:, external Liverpool should bring on Coutinho and Lallana on in the 2nd half to bring more threat to the attack.

Govind Ashwin:, external Play on the counter, you Reds.

Scott Parnell:, external Liverpool need another goal. Gotta think that they are going to concede again. I am a patient but Mignolet not good. enough

Ludogorets have to win this to keep their hopes of clinching second alive and they are straight on the attack as Dani Abalo sends a dipping shot wide.

On Twitter:, external Ancelotti says when Ronaldo starts it's the equivalent of a one goal start. Correct again, Carlo.

If results stay the same then, whatever happens in the final round of games, Liverpool will likely secure a Europa League place as absolute minimum. Every cloud and all that.

Second half under way.

Umer:, external A real test of Liverpool defensive credentials now. Can they hold this lead to the end?

"Liverpool, obviously, are pleased to go into half-time 2-1 ahead after going behind so early.

"It has been a bitty game and the pitch is not good, which is not conducive to first time passing. Liverpool were reeling after conceding but got back into game quickly. I think there are more goals in this for them after the break."
