It’s been a remarkable few days for Liverpool in what has already been a season to forget so far, but the Reds will be aiming to put all of that behind them as they take on Inter Milan in the Champions League later.
The club and its supporters are still dealing with the fallout from Mohamed Salah’s explosive interview at the weekend, in which he took aim at Liverpool and Arne Slot and suggested he could be about to bring his Anfield career to an end.
As a result, he doesn’t make the trip to Italy, but his teammates will be aiming to get their European campaign back on track and boost their hopes of a top eight finish in the league phase.
The Reds have already tasted defeat twice in the Champions League this season, including a humiliating 4-1 loss at home to PSV Eindhoven last time out.
That has left them 13th in the standings in what is a tight race for the top eight, which would see them avoid having to play an extra play-off game in the knockout stages.
A win tonights would take Liverpool level with Inter on 12 points, with the Italian side well placed to secure a top eight finish despite defeat to Atletico Madrid in its last game.
Tonight's game will be available for fans to watch for free - here's everything you need to know ahead of the clash.

The highly anticipated game is set for Tuesday, December 9 at the San Siro, with an 8 pm UK time kick-off. This fixture is part of Matchday 6 in the Champions League league phase, where Liverpool will be hoping to bounce back from a humiliating defeat at home to PSV Eindhoven last time out.

Inter Milan team news
The hosts will be without the injured trio of Matteo Darmian, Tomas Palacios and Raffaele Di Gennaro for tonight's game as they look to strengthen their hold on a place in the top eight of the league phase.
Denzel Dumfries, who proved so influential in the run to the final last year, could make a return though. The right-back has been missing since picking up an ankle injury against Lazio last month, but could be in line for a place on the bench against Liverpool.
Liverpool team news
Liverpool is of course without Mohamed Salah as the fallout continues following his outburst against the club and Arne Slot. The winger has been left out of the traveling squad to Milan, with a decision to be made on whether he will return for the weekend against Brighton.
Cody Gakpo and Wataru Endo also miss out through injury, while Federico Chiesa has been left at home due to illness, with a very slim chance that the winger could join his teammates in Italy on Tuesday.
Jeremie Frimpong remains out as he works toward a return from his hamstring problem, while long-term absentee Giovanni Leoni is not expected to play again this season after rupturing his ACL.
