Good afternoon from Salzburg, where Liverpool need a positive result tonight
to progress to the knockout stages
of this Champions League trophy they're aiming to defend.
A win or a point will secure a safe route for Liverpool.
How does this rank, this place, this time of year?
It's gorgeous, innit? It's just Christmas, the Austrians couldn't have been friendlier,
got the mulled wine! Christmas market.
It's just great, the way you want it.
Bradley Wiggins follows Liverpool on all of these European adventures,
how much are you looking forward to this one tonight?
Yeah, it's quite a decisive game, isn't it?
It'd be nice to get through, get to the knockout stages and go as far as we can,
because you never know,
you've got to keep pushing on in sport,
and to come away with the Champions League and the league this year,
it's not unfeasible, is it?
They've got the team at the moment,
the way they're playing they're head and shoulders above everyone else,
and you've got to keep that run going as long as possible.
Hey!
Jürgen Klopp makes three changes to this side tonight,
it means that Naby Keita keeps his place in the team
and back come Gini Wijnaldum, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Sadio Mane.

They had their chances of course but I think we neutralised them,
I could make the saves, Virgil...who's here on my side, putting pressure on them.
Virgil's playing with the lights!
Don't get too close, man.
But we are happy, I'm happy with the result,
and with what we did on the pitch.
