28'
An audacious back heel from Milec to clear on the wing. His teammates aren't quite as sharp and Firmino wins a free kick on the left. Milner and Salah over it.
27'

26'
Decent chance for Salah, but the ball hits his knee and bounces after from him. Maribor hack it to safety. Great ball in from Alexander Arnold.
25'
The Ox tries to weave some magic on the left of the box, but Milec sticks to his guns and manages to divert it behind for a corner, which eventually comes to nothing.
24'
Henderson shoots from distance... well wide.
23'
Damjan Bohar booked seconds after a much worse challenge on Milner went unpunished.

Firmino whips a low cross towards Salah who can't quite get ahead of his man to divert home. Maribor digging deep.
21'
STAT: Liverpool have won only three of their last 11 games in all competitions.
20'
Can spreads the play wide to Alexander Arnold, who wastes little time making the angle for a cross that deflects kindly for Handanovic. Anfield rather quiet so far.
19'
Martin Milec with a rare venture forward, but Henderson is there to make a solid block.
18'
LIVERPOOL CHANGE: Henderson on for the injured Wijnaldum.

17'
Bad news for Wijnaldum and Liverpool. The Dutchman looks like he's rolled his ankle. Klopp turns and calls for Henderson.
16'
Can clips a hopeful pass into the middle, but it's too far in front of Salah and Handanovic is out to pluck it out of the air.
14'
Liverpool were 3-0 up inside 19 minutes in Maribor, so no surprise to see the away side being cautious early doors here.
13'
Some respite for the visitors as Jasmin Handanovic comes to easily claim the resulting delivery.
12'
A nice twist and turn from Salah creates the space for a long-range shot that deflects wide.
11'
Maribor's most recent trip to England saw them hammered 6-0 at Chelsea in the 2014-15 group stage.
10'
Firmino makes an intelligent run to the near post but can only flick Alexander Arnold's devilish cross well wide of the far post.
8'
Desperate, last-ditch defending sees the visitors hold firm after smart play by Trent Alexander-Arnold and Milner threatened to unlock them.
7'
It's attack versus defence. A Liverpool goal seems inevitable...
6'
DID YOU KNOW? Maribor have won only one of their nine previous games against English teams, beating Wigan Athletic 2-1 in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage (via UEFA).
