GOOD EVENING! Welcome to LIVE updates of the first leg of the Champions League Last 16 tie between Inter Milan and Liverpool. Kick off 20.00 GMT.

Liverpool are aiming to win three successive away games in Italy for the first time ever.

The Reds boss has put plenty of faith in the teenager, who has looked sharp since returning from a lengthy injury lay-off.

Liverpool get this Champions League last 16 clash underway.

The Merseysiders have won five, lost seven and drawn three of their 15 European matches away to Italian opposition.

When and where did they claim the five victories, I hear you ask?

A 2-0 success at Roma in 2001, a 1-0 win at Inter at the San Siro in 2008, Udinese (1-0) in 2012, a 5-0 thumping of Atalanta last season and a 2-1 triumph at AC Milan in their last group fixture this term.

Inter's players are put through their paces.

Will it be a night to remember for Elliott?

Inter boss Simeone Inzaghi accepts the odds may be against his team heading into this tie but he's adamant they can spring the surprise their supporters crave.

"On paper Liverpool are favourites. We know, and I've told the boys, that we need to go out there and play our game free from worry," he told reporters.

"In this type of match the level of determination will make the difference, and the boys have shown throughout the season that they have plenty of it.

"We respect them but we're not starting the game already beaten."

Trent Alexander Arnold made a few headlines with his pre-match press conference comments that Man City have won more trophies than Liverpool – but the big one!

Here’s what the right back had to say: "We don't feel disappointed we haven't won enough trophies because we feel the trophies we have won are the biggest and the best you can get your hands on.

"Obviously not making any digs but you look at Man City's amazing team and they haven't been able to lift the Champions League. They have won a couple of Prems but they have not been able to win the Champions League and we have won both in the last few years.

"There is an expectation now as a team, as players, to win trophies. I think one trophy a season is the minimum we need to be achieving."
