Jurgen Klopp’s team are off to a perfect start in Europe, defeating Ajax and FC Midtjylland to take pole position in Group D. The Reds come into the match on a wave of positive momentum, having won their last four consecutive games, despite the loss of Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho through injury.

However, Atalanta, who were beaten in the quarter-finals by Paris Saint-Germain last season, will be a tough test of Liverpool’s mettle. The Serie A team have won four of their first six league games and are undefeated in the group so far. Follow all the action live below:

40 ‘- Atalanta 0-2 Liverpool

A passing move from Atalanta brings them up briefly, but Robertson and Joe Gomez defend well once again. At the other end, Jones frees Salah in the area, but can’t find room to get away from his marker. Liverpool considerably more dangerous in creating openings.

Great save by Sportiello to keep Atalanta in the game. Mane wins the ball in midfield, runs away, curls it into the far corner … he just leans around the post.

OBJECTIVE! 32 ‘- Atalanta 0-2 Liverpool

Jones wins a corner for Liverpool right. He defends easily at first, but Gomez puts him back in the box, Jota puts him down and shoots him at the near post!

28 ‘- Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool

Atalanta enjoys her best spell of the last five minutes. Gomez dances through defense, but always falls to the ground and can’t make a decent cross, before Zapata hits a shot that drifts toward the bar, but was offside in preparation.

24 ‘- Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool

Liverpool firmly on top. Curtis Jones sees a lot of ball, Salah then tries to find space in the box and Robertson hits a well off goal from miles away.

Midtjylland have retired a goal, 1-2 the score there now with Ajax still in the lead.

Muriel hits low from range, Alisson saves but spills it, and leaps up to catch the ball behind him before it rolls over the line. Wijnaldum is booked for retiring Papu Gomez and Curtis Jones is booked for an earlier challenge.

2-0 to Ajax Denmark, meanwhile.

Great final for Jota! He runs behind Palomino, ties the goalkeeper and makes a left-footed shot on Sportiello who hurries: good ending and the first goal for the Reds.

Identical possibilities at both ends. Muriel goes into space and drags a shot to Alisson’s legs. So Jones this time runs behind the defense and shoots low, saved by Sportiello’s legs.

Mane spins and fires a strike from the edge of the box, but Sportiello flips the bar. The referee talks to Henderson about knocking Pasalic down at the corner.

Trent Alexander-Arnold gets behind Mojica and throws a low cross, but Djimsiti is there to clear before Salah can jump.
