The atmosphere is a little bit subdued really on one of those nights where you want the supporters to provide a greater vocal backing and play their part. But they like the players are being frustrated by Atletico's rear-guard display.

Riyad Mahrez heads over from Bernardo Silva's cross.

Desperation stuff that from City.

City with their third penalty shout of the night.

It's a delightful throughball from Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling is looking to get on the end of it to convert, but Reinildo comes across to bump the Englishman away and Jan Oblak gathers.

Adel Taarabt picks up Benfica's first yellow card for pushing over Naby Keita as the Liverpool midfielder looked to break forward.

Mark: All these complaints about Atletico Madrid’s defensive set up don’t hide the fact Man City look utterly toothless.

Jack: For such a big game, the Etihad is so flat. Watched the Palace Arsenal game last night and that was rocking. All you can hear now is the Atletico fans.

Andy: Is it my imagination is Salah having a shocker?

That goes down as a really good chance. It was a lovely ball in from Mahrez. Laporte should really be hitting the target.

Here come those three changes for Liverpool as on come Jordan Henderson, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino.

Thiago, Sadio Mane and Mo Salah are the three to make way.

What a chance, the best of the match so far.

Riyad Mahrez swings in a corner which a City player wins for once.

It's Aymeric Laporte who leaps to meet it, but sends his effort over the bar.

Laporte screams in anguish, he knows what an opportunity that was.

Oh wow Benfica are on fire, Liverpool are all over the place!

The hosts charge forward and the ball is worked to Everton on the edge of the box and he smashes a powerful effort that Alisson does well to keep out.

Nervous times for the visitors right now, they have gone to pieces!

Felipe comes across and nudges Raheem Sterling in the back in the box, but the referee is unmoved again.

Atletico have taken the sting out of the game and City are a bit flat at the moment.

Thiago is booked for a foul on Rafa Silva, that coming after a sloppy pass by the Liverpool midfielder.

Jurgen Klopp is concerned enough by Benfica's play at the moment that he appears to be readying three changes.

The latest Kevin de Bruyne cross sails all the way out for a goal kick.

Here they come.

Skipper Koke, Antoine Griezmann and Marcos Llorente make way.

Rodrigo de Paul, Angel Correa and Matheus Cunha all enter.

Benfica win a goal kick and that prompts a huge roar from the home fans.

The supporters went a little quiet after Liverpool's second but are doing their bit to be their side's 12th man right now.

But Kevin de Bruyne's cross is headed away at the near post by Felipe.

Darwin Nunez slips the ball towards the edge of the box looking for Goncalo Ramos but Virgil van Dijk reads the danger and thumps clear.

Benfica are having a good moment right now and Liverpool are having to be careful.

We're approaching the hour mark, City win a corner.

Atletico boss Diego Simeone about to make a triple change...
