Joel Matip gives it away but Rhys Williams reacts well to head a through ball which would have caused problems.

A cross is then fired in from the left which Kostas Tsimikas only nods into the ground. It bounces up for Josip Ilicic on the edge of the box but he skews it wide.

What Clinton is trying to say is Milner = GOAT.

James Milner is the best professional I've ever seen out there - not necessarily in terms of football just how professional he is. How he looks after himself, he's probably the first on the training pitch and last to leave. He's just a testament to himself that he's managed to play at this level for such a long time.

Josip Ilicic's lofty pass finds a teammate on the far side of Liverpool's area but it's poorly controlled.

Liverpool look to break quickly but Divock Origi is fouled by Cristian Romero. Softly (but he won't care)!

James 'Messi' Milner slides a lovely ball through to Divock Origi on the right. He wins a throw-in.

It's not really got going yet. Atalanta have had the better chances but they are only just starting to get a foot on the ball.

Liverpool win it back and it's Rhys Williams, on to Joel Matip.

Rhys Williams is the target as Liverpool take a free-kick from just inside the Atalanta half.

He's bundled off it by goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini and Atalanta's Robin Gosens comes off worse when he's caught by his elbow.

It's been a positive start from Atalanta, they've been on the front foot so far. In their first meeting when Liverpool beat them comfortably they did have some chances and Allison did have to make some saves so it is a difficult game for Liverpool tonight.

Wake up Liverpool...

Joel Matip is running on his heels again with Alejandro Gómez driving at him on the edge of the box.

He drills it low and it's not too far away from the right corner.

Rob: Re: 19:58 - did I just read that Arsenal named TOM CRUISE in their starting name in 2009? What a world we live in. Didn't know he was Champions League standard.

This is a pretty decent save you know!

It's sloppy from Liverpool. Atalanta gets in behind - Joel Matip is a yard behind the rest of his teammates - and Robin Gosens smashes it powerfully at an angle on the left side of the box.

It's going in at the near post and Alisson has to be sharp.

Liverpool are winning it high up the pitch but Atalanta are a bit more organised so far. Curtis Jones, Neco Williams and Mohamed Salah all push forward but it's forced back to Joel Matip.

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola talking to BT Sport: "We played really, really well in all departments. We are in the next round and can focus on other compeititions. We would love to score more but it will come and one day we will break everything."

Curtis Jones gets a foot in but sells Mohamed Salah short. It comes over to Sadio Mane, who tees up Kostas Tsimikas for a cross.

He curls it in towards Divock Origi but he's fouled a defender in the box.

Alejandro Gomez is seeing a lot of the ball for Atalanta. He plays a few one-twos on the edge of Liverpool's box but is eventually pushed out wide.

Liverpool win the ball back in the middle but Mohamed Salah gives it away sloppily with a weak pass across field to Rhys Williams.

Marten de Roon pounces on it but curls it wide of Alisson's right post.

Divock Origi is playing through the middle for Liverpool tonight. Big night for him. Needs to impress.

It's Liverpool who have the ball early on.

Off we go! Predictions?

Manchester City

Manchester City's Phil Foden taking to BT Sport: "It is really important for this club to get through. We have not had the best results in the league but getting the right results in the Champions League is important.

"We need to work on scoring more goals."

In Curtis Jones, Rhys Williams and Neco Williams, Liverpool are the first side to name three British teenagers in their starting XI for a Champions League match since Arsenal named four against Olympiakos in December 2009 (Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Tom Cruise and Kyle Bartley).
