Liverpool

Roberto Firmino, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and the suspended James Milner are all unavailable to Liverpool.

Joe Gomez and Naby Keita are back in training following injury and could feature. Ibrahima Konate, Takumi Minamino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kostas Tsimikas are among the options to be given a start.

Striker Divock Origi, who came off the bench to score a late winner at Wolves on Saturday, is also likely to start.

Champions League

While Liverpool are assured top spot in Group B, all three other teams are in the race to claim the runners-up spot.

Porto currently occupy the position on five points, one more than both AC Milan and Atletico Madrid. A win for the Portuguese side at home to Atletico will seal it.

However, should both Atletico and Milan win, it will come down to goal difference as they are tied on their head-to-head record. The Italian side are currently one goal better off than Diego Simeone's team.

When Barcelona travel to Bayern Munich tomorrow, it's unclear whether their record signing will take part.

It's a must-win game for Xavi's team. Otherwise, a home victory for Benfica over already eliminated Dynamo Kyiv would see Barca fail to reach the Champions League knockout stage for the first time since 2004.

Former Liverpool superstar Philippe Coutinho, however, is far from certain to play against his former club, having made a gradual slide from the third-most expensive player in history to a largely overlooked afterthought.

What on earth has happened?

England midfielder Jude Bellingham has been fined 40,000 euros (£34,000) by the German Football Association after questioning the appointment of referee Felix Zwayer for Borussia Dortmund's Bundesliga match against Bayern Munich.

Bellingham criticised Zwayer after Dortmund's 3-2 defeat on Saturday, referring to the official's six-month ban for a match-fixing scandal in 2005.

The 18-year-old has been fined for "unsportsmanlike behaviour" and Dortmund will not appeal.

During Saturday's game, Zwayer turned down Dortmund's appeals for a penalty before giving their rivals a spot-kick for a Mats Hummels handball. Robert Lewandowski scored it to give Bayern victory.

Speaking to Viaplay,, external Bellingham said: "You give a referee, that has match fixed before, the biggest game in Germany. What do you expect?

"For me, it wasn't [a penalty]. He [Hummels] is not even looking at the ball and he's fighting to get it and it hits him.

"You can look at a lot of the decisions in the game."

Kevin de Bruyne starts tonight after missing the last four games due to coronavirus.

Named the Professional Footballers' Association men's Players' Player of the Year for a second consecutive season last term, the start of Kevin de Bruyne's 2021-22 season was disrupted by an ankle injury sustained at Euro 2020.

Boss Pep Guardiola warned the 30-year-old he must "come back and fight for a position like everyone else".

"Kevin doesn't have to show absolutely anything to me," he added.

"But he has to come back to being himself and show himself he's back - and do what he has to do, like he has done the last five or six years, every single three days."
