  • 30' The travelling Liverpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Kalidou Koulibaly has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' Georginio Wijnaldum has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Fabian Ruiz suffering a number of foals already.

  • 74' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 75' A tactical swap from SSC Napoli — Eljif Elmas on, Allan off on 75 minutes.
  • 80' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 82' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Dries Mertens makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 87' Xherdan Shaqiri is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jordan Henderson at the 87 minute mark.
