Marseille vs Liverpool LIVE!

Mohamed Salah returns to Liverpool’s lineup as the Reds face a potentially difficult trip to Marseille in the Champions League. It is nearly two months since Salah last started a game under Arne Slot, with his high-profile benching and subsequent outburst that threw his Anfield future into doubt followed by a departure for the Africa Cup of Nations. He helped Egypt to finish fourth at AFCON and is now back training with Liverpool and is recalled to the XI tonight along with Alexis Mac Allister and Joe Gomez.

Liverpool head to the Stade Velodrome unbeaten in 12 games across all competitions, but with plenty of frustrations still lingering after a run of four draws in five including being held at home by struggling Burnley. They need a point from their last two league phase fixtures to ensure a spot in the knockout play-offs but will still have high hopes of sealing a top-eight finish and direct progress into the last 16.
