Well done Kacper Tobiasz.

Moussa Diaby bursts into the box, bamboozles a defender and shoots but Legia keeper Tobiasz makes himself big and saves with his arm.

Then Jhon Duran has a shot deflected over.

Oh my, Legia are inches away from the lead.

The ball bounces in front of Gil Dias and he stoops down and heads a ball which loops into the air and hits the crossbar. A strange effort but almost a successful one.

Villa caught offside early doors. They need a two-goal win tonight to be guaranteed top spot and the last 16.

Cody Gakpo is caught by keeper Tobias Lawal and the referee points to the spot.

Mo Salah has picked up the ball.

Liverpool start the second half on the front foot. Wataru Endo attempts a spectacular volley but it's well wide.

Second halves under way in Aston and Anfield.

At least three police officers have been injured during disorder ahead of Aston Villa's game with Legia Warsaw in Birmingham.

Villa are hosting the Polish side in their Europa Conference League tie.

West Midlands Police said fans of the Polish side were not being allowed into the stadium after objects were thrown at officers.

The force urged people to avoid Witton Lane if possible.

Aston Villa said supporters who had tickets for R block had to access the stadium via the Upper North (T Block turnstiles) and were directed by AVFC Staff.

Earlier Legia hit out at Villa publicly for what they described as restrictions on the number of tickets for away fans.

Witnesses on X, formerly known as Twitter, said they had seen several people be arrested outside the stadium and areas of Villa Park had been damaged with various items being thrown.

It seems as though that Ernest Muci leveller took the sting out of an Aston Villa side who started the match with a lot of impetus.

Boubacar Kamara gave the visitors an early Christmas present by losing the ball in such a dangerous area and in truth, this match could go either way.

As we approached half-time, Villa seemed a world away from the high energy, direct side that we have seen in recent weeks and months.

However, as we know, very few teams visit Villa Park and come away with one point at the moment, let alone all three.

It's 0-0 at the break in the other game in Liverpool's group between Toulouse and Union Saint-Gilloise.

As it stands, the Reds have 12 points from five games - four more than second-placed Toulouse. Union SG have five and LASK three.

There's one round of games to go after tonight.

Liverpool have won seven of their last eight games in Europe against Austrian teams - the other was an infamous home defeat against Grazer AK during Champions League qualifying in 2004-05.

It would take a historic turnaround for a similar upset here.

No injury time added on. A draw is a fair score at the break.

Salah is a genius but that didn't look like that was ever going to trouble the goalkeeper!

And another chance for the Reds. This time Tobias Lawal gets down to keep out Mo Salah's effort.

Liverpool are pouring forward at will, but the final ball has been lacking since the second goal.

Jurgen Klopp may be a little ticked off that the game isn't completely to bed, despite the home side's dominance.

Joe Gomez has been at Liverpool eight years. He has yet to score.

The wait goes on as Gomez flashes an attempt agonisingly wide.

Douglas Luiz and Pawel Wszolek are beefing a bit. The referee calls them over and gives them a yellow card each.

Jurgen Klopp reacts to a wild attempt from Luis Diaz by lifting his snood over his face.
