- 90'+2'That brings an end to our coverage of the Champions League fixture in Group D between Liverpool and Atalanta at Anfield. Thank you very much for joining us. Goodbye!
- 90'+2'Liverpool will be hoping to return to winning ways and book their place in the knockout phase when they host Ajax next time out in the Champions League. Atalanta, meanwhile, will be seeking back-to-back wins when they welcome FC Midtjylland in their upcoming European fixture.
- 90'+2'Following a tightly-contested clash, Atalanta leave Anfield with all three points. Throughout the fixture, Liverpool were well below their best, and Atalanta punished the hosts’ disjointed display. Ilicic turned home Gomez’s inch-perfect cross to break the deadlock on the hour mark, before Gosens doubled the visitors’ lead four minutes later as he converted from Hateboer’s back-post header.
- 90'+2'FULL TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-2 ATALANTA
- 90'There will be two minutes of added time at the end of this match.
- 89'De Roon is the latest player to pick up a yellow card following a cynical sliding challenge from behind on Jota. He can have no complaints with that decision.
- 87'Should the results in Group D stay the same, then Liverpool will top the table with nine points, two ahead of both Ajax and Atalanta.
- 85'Gasperini opts to turn to his bench and brings on Miranchuk in place of Pessina. It remains 2-0.
- 84'Klopp’s side are in control of the possession at present, but are struggling to do anything with it. The Italian team have maintained their solid structure very well thus far.
- 84'Liverpool make their fifth and final alteration as we enter the closing stages, with Minamino replacing Matip.
- 82'OVER! Zapata receives the ball in the centre of the hosts’ penalty area from Pessina. On the turn, the Colombian gets underneath his shot and lifts it over the top of Alisson’s goal.
- 81'Robertson’s cross from the left is delivered into a dangerous area. Romero gets down to head it, and it cannons behind for a goal-kick off Firmino.
- 79'Prior to this fixture, Atalanta had won their last three away games in the UEFA Champions League, scoring at least three goals in each.
- 77'A free-kick is given against Zapata, who is adjudged to have handled the ball.
- 75'As we enter the final 15 minutes of regulation time, Mojica comes onto the field in place of Gosens.
- 73'The Reds’ substitutions have certainly injected a little more urgency into the hosts’ offensive play. That said, Atalanta’s three central defenders continue to nullify Liverpool’s attack.
- 71'Milner steers another free-kick in towards the back post from a central area. Rhys Williams turns the delivery back across goal, before Romero deflects it into Gollini’s grasp.
- 70'The scorer of the opening goal, Ilicic, is replaced by Zapata. It remains 2-0 and there are 20 minutes of normal time left to play.
- 68'Milner’s in-swinging free-kick from the left following a foul on Jota is steered in towards Firmino, although Romero climbs well to powerfully clear the danger.
- 66'Following that opening goal, Ilicic has now scored six Champions League goals for Atalanta - two more than any other player for the Italians.
- 64'The delivery from Gomez was inch perfect, and Hateboer did well to rise above Robertson before showing the composure to pick out his teammate. Another well-worked goal from the visitors.
- 64'GOAL! The away side double their lead! Gomez lofts another inviting cross in towards the far post. Hateboer rises to steer the ball back across the box, and Gosens arrives to fire it into the bottom-left corner. Alisson stood no chance.
- 63'After Romero conceded a corner to the left, the ball fell to the feet of Milner, whose strike from range was well blocked.
- 61'Robertson also enters the fray in place of Tsimikas.
- 61'Klopp responds to seeing his side go behind by turning to his bench. Origi is replaced by Jota.
- 61'In the last of the four changes, Salah makes way for Firmino.
- 61'The Reds’ German manager also calls upon Fabinho, who comes on for Wijnaldum.
- 60'Gomez has been Atalanta’s danger man for much of the game. It is a real moment of quality that helps to break the deadlock, and Ilicic had the simplest of tasks to steer the ball past Liverpool’s Brazilian goalkeeper.
- 60'GOAL! Atalanta take the lead! Gomez peels into space down the left-hand side of the field, before cutting onto his right foot and floating a dangerous cross in towards the back post. Ilicic holds his run and turns the ball beyond Alisson from close range. 1-0.
- 59'Liverpool are enjoying a good spell of possession at present. Mane’s forward pass deflects into the visitors’ penalty area, and Romero rises above Origi to head it to safety.
- 57'Tsimikas is the first player to go into the book after catching De Roon’s heel with a late challenge from behind on the halfway line.
- 56'Liverpool have looked brighter following the restart. Despite that, Gasperini’s team continue to defend and press in numbers.
- 54'Noussair Mazrouri has doubled Ajax’s lead against Midtjylland in the other fixture in Group D. If that result stays the same, then Liverpool will need to win against Atalanta to secure qualification at the end of matchday four.
- 52'Gomez turns into space midway inside the Liverpool half and looks to send Ilicic away with a throughball beyond Rhys Williams. Alisson is alert to the danger and rushes off his line to pounce on the pass.
- 50'Some neat link-up play on the edge of the visitors’ penalty area almost results in Mane chipping the ball beyond the Atalanta defence for Salah. Romero, however, spots the danger and gets up to nod the pass away to safety.
- 49'Romero looks to switch the play over to the left for Gosens, but his pass is overhit and runs out for a throw-in.
- 48'Following a foul from Neco Williams on Gosens down the left flank, the set-piece is taken short to Gomez, who sees his dipping strike collected at the near post by Alisson.
- 45'+1'Klopp will be looking for his side to come out with much more offensive intent after the break. The Reds have been far too passive and slow in their build-up play thus far, and have too frequently given the ball away in dangerous areas. Because of that, Gasperini will certainly be the happier of the two managers. Although they have lacked a cutting edge, Atalanta completely nullified the hosts in the first half and carved a number of threatening openings.
- 47'Ryan Gravenberch has given Ajax the lead against Midtjylland.
- 45'+1'After 45 minutes, there is nothing to separate the two sides. In a half that was devoid of chances, Atalanta had the better of the openings. Gosens almost caught Alisson out at his near post after nine minutes, before Gomez then curled a decent chance beyond the far post two minutes later. Liverpool failed to get into the rhythm, with Salah sending their only effort over the bar on the brink of half-time.
- 46'We are back underway! The Spanish referee blows his whistle and the Reds get the second half kicked off.
- 45'+1'HALF TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-0 ATALANTA
- 45'There will be one minute of added time at the end of the first half.
- 43'Tsimikas fires a pass into Mane, who manages to spin away from several Atalanta players midway inside the visitor’s half before being caught Ilicic. Liverpool cleverly work the free-kick well down the left flank, and it eventually falls to Salah, who lashes a right-footed shot wide from an acute angle.
- 41'Salah looks to send Origi away with throughball, although Romero reads the situation and snuffs out the danger.
- 40'Tsimikas now impedes Ilicic from behind, and Atalanta are awarded another free-kick down the right-hand side of the field.
- 38'Mane goes in late on Hateboer in looking to win the ball back high up the pitch, and the decision goes Atalanta’s way. It has been a very scrappy game thus far.
- 36'PENALTY? Ilicic drives into the box and goes down under pressure from Tsimikas. The Atalanta forward appeals for a penalty, but the referee is well placed to wave away the protests.
- 35'In the other game in Group D, Ajax are currently drawing 0-0 with FC Midtjylland.
- 33'Milner latches onto a loose pass and knocks it back to Rhys Williams before being caught from behind by Pessina. The Spanish referee gives Liverpool a free-kick.
- 31'Thus far in the match, Atalanta have enjoyed 52 per cent of the possession. Moreover, Salah is the only Liverpool player to have had a touch inside the away team’s box.
- 29'Neco Williams takes a chance in cutting back onto his right foot on the edge of his own box. Freuler goes in to try and regain possession for the away side but concedes a foul.
- 27'Gosens swings a low cross into a dangerous area towards Ilicic, and Matip is quick to react to knock it away to safety.
- 25'Milner handles the ball midway inside his own half, and the referee awards the away side a free-kick.
- 23'Klopp’s side are struggling to find their rhythm at present. Neco Williams loses the ball down the right-hand side of the field, and Atalanta are once again able to go on the offensive.
- 22'Freuler’s in-swinging cross the left is nodded to the edge of the box by Tsimikas. The loose ball is picked up by Ilicic, who lashes a fierce strike well over the top of Alisson’s goal
- 21'Tsimikas is clipped by De Roon, and the hosts win a free-kick down the left flank.
- 20'Gasperini’s side are continuing to press in their efforts to break the deadlock. Freuler attempts to drive at the heart of the Liverpool defence, but Milner is alert to make the interception.
- 18'In Jones, Rhys Williams and Neco Williams, Liverpool are the first side to name three British teenagers in their starting team for a Champions League match since Arsenal named four against Olympiakos in December 2009.
- 16'Jones is caught by De Roon on the halfway line as he looked to spin away from the Dutchman. Liverpool are awarded a free-kick.
- 14'After that earlier knock, Gosens has returned to the pitch.
- 12'There is going to be a brief stoppage in play as Gosens is down and in need of treatment following a collision with his goalkeeper following a set-piece situation.
- 11'WIDE! Neco Williams this time loses the ball deep inside the hosts’ half. Gomez reclaims possession for Atalanta and, from the edge of the Liverpool box, steers his shot beyond the far post.
- 9'SAVE! Romeo floats an inch-perfect pass down the left flank for Gosens. The winger latches onto ball and almost catches Alisson out at his near post, but the Brazilian gets a strong right-hand to the shot to turn it behind for a corner.
- 8'Should Klopp’s side win against Atalanta, then the hosts will secure their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
- 6'Tsimikas lofts an inviting cross into the away side’s box, but Origi is adjudged to have fouled Romero when looking to latch onto the delivery.
- 4'The visitors have made a promising start in the opening minutes as they continue to confidently knock the ball around in their efforts to find their rhythm. Salah sloppily gives possession to Gomez in a dangerous area, and the Atalanta forward curls a left-footed shot wide of Alisson’s far post from the edge of the box.
- 2'Origi does well to control Alisson’s long, searching pass before being fouled in the centre of the park by Freuler.
- 1'Kick off! The referee, Carlos del Cerro Grande, blows his whistle and Atalanta get the game underway.
- -The teams are out, and kick-off will soon be upon us here at Anfield.
- -Liverpool won 5-0 in the reverse fixture against Atalanta, while they last won multiple games against Italian sides in a European campaign in 2007-08 – two wins against Inter Milan in the Last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
- -The home side come into this match without suffering a defeat in any of their last eight matches in all competitions. Moreover, Jurgen Klopp’s team have scored eight goals in the Champions League thus far and are also yet to concede in Europe. Atalanta, meanwhile, head into the clash having won just once in their previous six games. In that time, the La Dea have kept just one clean sheet, which came in their most recent Serie A outing against Spezia.
- -There are five changes from the Liverpool team that beat Leicester City last time out in the Premier League. Neco Williams, Rhys Williams, Tsimikas, Salah and Origi come into the side in place of Fabinho, Robertson, Naby Keita, Jota, and Firmino. The visitors, on the other hand, make three alterations for this clash. Djimsiti, Hateboer and Freuler replace Palomino, Fabio Depaoli and Zapata.
- -ATALANTA SUBS: Francesco Rossi, Marco Sportiello, Cristiano Piccini, Giorgio Scalvini, Matteo Ruggeri, Johan Mojica, Jose Luis Palomino, Simone Panada, Aleksey Miranchuk, Luis Muriel, Duvan Zapata, Sam Lammers.

- -Liverpool come into this game off the back of three consecutive wins in the Champions League, with their last European victory being a 5-0 win against Atalanta at Gewiss Stadium. Because of that result, Gian Peiro Gasperini will be hoping for a response from his team on Merseyside.
