STAT: Salzburg are without a win in four matches in all competitions against English opposition. They have failed to score in three of those encounters, drawing just the one.

Liverpool are well on top here. Salzburg attempting to counter with long balls in-behind. No joy so far though.

Firmino has featured in 43 of Jurgen Klopp's 44 European games in charge of the Reds. It's his 28th birthday today and he's chipped in with another lovely assist.

CLOSE! Alexander Arnold curves one of those delightful crosses in-behind the defence from the right. Firmino is on to it, but a slither of a touch off a defender puts the Brazilian off and the keeper is relieved to drop on the loose ball.
