Full Time
That's all from Anfield and Liverpool will have to wait to qualify after a poor showing tonight
Two Minutes Additional
Into added time
Final Throw
Takumi Minamino on for Joel Matip
Time Running Out!
Looking unlikely Liverpool get back into this and given their lacklustre performance, rightfully so
Final 15 Minutes
Into the final 15 minutes and it's still Liverpool trailing by two goals to nil and failing to create
Goal!
Atalanta double their lead through Gosens who couldn't miss with his volley from just outside the six yard box
Goal!
Atalanta lead through Illic who arrived late at the back post to give the visitors the lead
Four Changes
Diogo Jota on for Mohamed Salah
Fabinho on for Gini Wijnaldum
Andy Robertson on for Kostas Tsimikas
Roberto Firmino on for Divock Origi
Changes Afoot
Plenty of substitutes getting ready for Liverpool
Tempo Up
Definite signs early in the half the Reds are at least attempting to increase their intensity
A Passive Performance
All too slow for Liverpool still as they fail to create anything in the final third
Second Half Underway
Back underway at Anfield where Liverpool will be desperate to spark into life
No Subs
No changes, surprisingly
Half Time
The referee brings a rather drab first half to an end.
Expect far more from the Reds in the second period
Salah Goes Close
First sight of goal for any of Liverpool's attackers sees Mohamed Salah fire over with his weaker right foot
Very Quiet
Both teams are failing to create anything clear cut as we approach 40 minutes.
Defences well and truly on top
Half Hour
30 minutes gone and Atalanta have been the better team as Liverpool struggle to get going at all.
Blazed Over
Atalanta carve out another half chance thanks to a poor pass from Joel Matip.
Liverpool surrendering possession far too easily and frequently
Frantic Start
A busy first 20 minutes without a clear cut chance for either side
Close Again
Neco Williams is dispossessed too easily but Gomez fires wide from the edge of the box
Close!
Gosens goes close for the visitors from a tight angle but Alisson tips it wide with a strong arm
Change In Appraoch
No early chances as Atalanta look to be more compact this time against Liverpool
Bright Start
It's the visitors who have started the better as the game settles down into some kind of pattern
Kick Off
Atalanta get things underway
All Set
Minutes silence is observed and the players are in position
Here We Go
Players are out and the Champions League anthem is blaring into a, for now, empty Anfield
10 Minutes
10 minutes until kick-off. There will be a minutes silence before the match gets underway in respect to Diego Maradona who passed away in Argentina earlier today
Klopp Pre-Match
''We just have to be ready for another proper fight.''
''He has trained well, absolutely fine, he has looked good and we will see how long.'' On Mohamed Salah
Almost Time
Just 30 minutes until kick-off at Anfield and the players are out warming up
Jurgen Klopp Speaks...
On Diego Maradona: "I was very young when I first saw him, maybe nine or 10, I saw him when he was 16 or 17 and you just knew.''
"Diego was a sensational guy and Maradona had some struggles, let me say it like this. I will miss them both."
Atalanta XI
Gollini, Toloi, Romero, Djimisti, Hateboer, de Roon, Freuler, Pessina, Gosens, Gomez, Illicic
Expect a more conservative approach from the visitors after being humbled at home last time out against Liverpool
Team News Reaction
No surprise to see Klopp make changes to his lineup.
Still no sign of Thiago, Alexander-Arnold or Henderson whilst some key men get a well earned break.
Expect to see plenty of changes if possible during the match

XI: Alisson, N Williams, R Williams, Matip, Tsimikas, Milner, Wijnaldum, Jones, Salah, Mane, Origi
