We have live text commentary coming up tonight on the 8.05pm kick-off between Liverpool and Utrecht in the Europa League.

FULL TIME: Liverpool 0 Utrecht 0. Dreadfully disappointing as the dead rubber ends goalless. Thanks for joining us.

Jones saves a long-range shot with ease and there's a few grumbles on the final whistle.

Mertens shows some great skill to trick his way into the box but there's no reward at the end of his run.

Oar tears down the left and forces a corner - last chance here.

The first of three minutes' stoppage time passes without any incident. Keeper Vorm is hurried along to take a goal-kick which sums things up.

Injury time looms - not a great advert for the Europa League.

Shelvey rolls it Cole but the shot is charged down. Aurelio then crosses and Cole is on the end of it agin but can't get a touch to the deflected centre.

Cole earns a free-kick in a threatening position. Can the Reds pull this out of the bag?

Silbebauer tries his luck from distance but his shot is wayward and drifts harmlessly over the bar.

Kyrgiakos moves forward with menace but his outrageously ambitious shot is easily charged down.

Cole skips forward again, he's as bright now as he has been all night. Liverpool are probing as they finally look to be aiming to grab a winner.

Adam Sarota, another Aussie, replaces Maguire.

Cole makes a rare burst forward but checks back. A rare bit of action eventually ensues and Aurelio crosses dangerously. It falls to Cole but his shot is blocked.

Some fans are already leaving Anfield early. Not long to go.

Pacheco mops up after a cross from Maguire is too deep. Utrecht actually look more likely to grab a winner although you feel Liverpool must have a great chance in them.

Mertens blasts well wide from a promising position - Oar is getting some joy down the left now.

Kelly shows a good turn of speed to get away down the right but his cross is safely gathered by Vorm, who has still to make a save of any great note if you consider the fact a goal-kick was awarded when Jovanovic clipped the bar.

Jones slows things down which isn't really what anybody wants. Liverpool have tended to strike late in Europe this season.

The Reds are handed a cheap corner which Aurelio swings over but it's headed away by Jan Wuytens.

In fact, Jovanovic is the man about to make way for the Holland forward. Kuyt receives a rapturous reception.
