Milan have had the fight knocked out of them by the Reds. The Rossoneri have not been good enough tonight.22:36

CHANCE! Origi causes problems in the final third once more as he attacks a cross from Williams from the right flank, only to nod his effort just wide of the right post.22:33

SAVE! Salah turns on his left foot to strike at goal from the edge of the box after being teed up by Origi. However, his effort is tame and straight at Maignan.22:15

Messias collects in space on the right flank and angles a cross into the box for Krunic. Phillips is well placed in the middle to head away.22:07

We're back under way at San Siro.22:06

Milan played the game to perfection by sitting back before taking the lead through Tomori. However, a lapse by Mike Maignan allowed Salah to equalise, which means that the hosts will have to do the hard work all over again. It is still goalless between Porto and Atletico, giving Stefano Pioli and his team all the encouragement they need to force a victory.21:52

Tsimikas has space down the left flank to angle a cross into the box, but he slices his effort out for a goal kick.21:52

We're under way at San Siro.21:03

Liverpool have made eight changes to their side from their win over Wolves. Only Salah, Mane and Alisson retain their places as Klopp takes the opportunity to rest the majority of his key men.

Origi joins Salah and Mane in the final third after scoring the decisive goal against Wolves at the weekend.20:54

Liverpool are already safely through to the next round of the Champions League, but will want to advance with a 100% record. The Reds have been in dominant form against their Group B rivals and a clean sweep will send them into the last 16 with momentum. Liverpool are in impressive form, reeling off five wins on the bounce in all competitions since losing 3-2 to West Ham United at the start of November. Divock Origi's late goal against Wolves maintained their streak, and they will be looking for another victory tonight.21:00

Milan know that they have to beat Liverpool this evening to advance to the last 16 of the Champions League. The Rossoneri gave themselves a fighting chance by defeating Atletico Madrid on the road in their last outing in Group B courtesy of Junior Messias' late goal. Porto are in prime position to take second place in the group, but if they fail to beat Atletico tonight, Milan can edge ahead of the Portuguese side to reach the knockout phase. Stefano Pioli's men are in good form, having defeated Genoa and Salernitana in their last two matches, but it will take a strong effort to defeat Jurgen Klopp's men.20:59
