UCL line-ups: Liverpool vs. Bologna | OneFootball

Riccardo Orsolini and Thijs Dallinga lead the Bologna attack in a prestigious Champions League clash with Liverpool, though Federico Chiesa is injured.

It kicks off at Anfield at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, RB Leipzig-Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk-Atalanta on the Liveblog.

The Rossoblu were the surprise Champions League qualifiers last season, earning their place thanks to the expansion of the tournament after finishing fifth in Serie A.

A lot has changed since then, as coach Thiago Motta, defender Riccardo Calafiori and striker Joshua Zirkzee all left, with Lewis Ferguson a long-term injury absentee.

Under Vincenzo Italiano, they have only managed one victory, 2-1 away to Monza, and a lone 3-0 defeat to Napoli, drawing the other five matches.

That includes 0-0 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, where Lukasz Skorupski saved an early penalty.

Nicolò Cambiaghi and Oussama El Azzouzi are injured, while Orsolini is preferred to Jens Odgaard.

Santiago Castro is their top scorer, but not fully fit, so Dallinga leads the attack instead.

Liverpool have won every game this season except one, a 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, and that includes their 3-1 victory at San Siro against Milan.

New coach Arne Slot has plenty of options to choose from, but Harvey Elliott and Italy international Chiesa are out of action.

Today is the birthday of ex-Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Luis Diaz; Nunez

Bologna: Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Lucumí, Miranda; Freuler, Urbanski; Orsolini, Moro, Ndoye; Dallinga
