There's eight minutes of additional time to be played by the way.
90' +4
Pfeiffer replaces Kaba upfront for the hosts as they go in search of a late winner.
This second half in Denmark has been beyond action-packed. We’ve seen a goal, a penalty, plenty of substitutions and two goals that have been disallowed. Surely, we couldn’t see a late winner for either side?!
90' +2
Minamino is in fact onside but VAR adjudges that Mane handled the ball prior to his finish. The score again stays at 1-1.
90'
L. Pfeiffer enters the game and replaces S. Kaba.

87'
S. Mané enters the game and replaces Diogo Jota.
Klopp makes his final change as Mane replaces Jota. Can Liverpool grab a winner late on here?
85'
Sviatchenko could probably charge Salah rent with the amount of time the Liverpool forward is currently spending on his shoulder. You have to fancy the visitors to force another big chance tonight, but will they be able to take advantage when it matters most?
83'
Isaksson strikes from the edge of the box but it’s straight down the throat of Kelleher. The hosts have been excellent in this second half and arguably deserve to be ahead here in Denmark.
81'
M. Anderson gets yellow.
Anderson goes into the book after fouling Jota who was on the counter-attack.
80'
The VAR officials agree with the linesman on this near side and the Midtjylland goal is disallowed. The score stays at 1-1 for now.

Another big arrival for Liverpool as Firmino comes on to replace Origi upfront for the visitors.
69'
Liverpool just need to regroup here in Denmark as Midtjylland go in search of another goal and the lead. You can hear Henderson screaming at his colleagues to try and collectively up their game. His arrival in midfield could shift the momentum of this Champions League clash back in Liverpool's favour.
64'
Anderson joins the action at the same time as Mabil departs.
63'

M. Anderson enters the game and replaces A. Mabil.

62'
Penalty goal scored by A. Scholz for Midtjylland!
GOOOAAALLLLL!!! 1-1. SCHOLZ!!! The central defender steps up and smashes his penalty into the top left corner of Kelleher’s net. The goalkeeper guessed the correct way but was beaten by the sheer power.
61'
A. Robertson enters the game and replaces K. Tsimikas.
J. Henderson enters the game and replaces N. Keïta.

Klopp calls upon Henderson to settle the play down in midfield for the visitors. Keita departs.
58'
Liverpool are finding it ever increasingly difficult to keep possession in central midfield with Clarkson and Keita often being bypassed by the Midtjylland midfielders. As a result, Origi and Salah are looking particularly isolated upfront for the visitors now.
54'
These are currently very testing times for Liverpool's young duo at centre-back – Williams and Koumetio. Kaba is proving to be a real handful upfront for the hosts. The forward is both powerful and pacey.
52'
Midtjylland have begun the second half the same way that they finished the first. The Danish side are really pushing for an equaliser and are still keen to take a big scalp if they can tonight in the Champions League.
46'
B. Koumetio enters the game and replaces Fabinho.
Koumetio comes on for his Liverpool debut at the break as Fabinho leaves the action.
Both sides are back on the field and the second half begins!
45' +2
HALF-TIME: MIDTJYLLAND 0-1 LIVERPOOL.
45'
They’ll be a minimum of two minutes of additional time played here in Denmark. Liverpool look likely to keep their lead until the break.
44'
SAVE! Jota should score from just inside the penalty area. The Portuguese international strikes left-footed from 20 yards out but Hansen does brilliantly to keep Liverpool's lead at one.
43'
Williams has again impressed so far at the back for Liverpool. Clarkson – on his European debut – has been relatively quiet in midfield but the 19-year-old is putting himself about when possible.
40'
Midtjylland are definitely focusing all of their attacks down the right wing with Cools and Dreyer often ganging up on Tsimikas down that flank. A few times they’ve been successful at delivering crosses from that side of the pitch, but the quality has been lacking to really trouble the Liverpool centre-backs.
38'
Sviatchenko pulls back Tsimikas on the right wing and the referee blows his whistle for a foul. That will alleviate the pressure for now for Liverpool, but the Danes get the ball straight back and look to attack again.
36'
Don’t let that early Salah goal kid you - Midtjylland have played very well so far. They’ve not been outclassed by this Liverpool side as some predicted but rather look equal to their opposition so far this evening.
31'
Dion Cools gets yellow.
Tsimikas finds himself in the box and goes for a rather speculative overhead kick. The Greek full-back won’t want to see that attempt again as it nearly goes for a throw in.
Cools gets a yellow card for a late foul on Jota.
30'
Liverpool advance and Salah goes for goal from just outside the hosts penalty area. His left-footed effort is well blocked by Scholz though and Midtjylland recover the possession.
25'
The hosts deliver a corner and the ball bobbles around in the box before Fabinho cooly heads back to his goalkeeper. The Brazilian has been immense since filling the Virgil Van Dijk sized hole in the Liverpool defence this season.
22'
The away side are doing very well to crowd whichever Midtjylland player has the ball. Their famous constant pressing is forcing the hosts into individual errors all across the pitch.
18'
Despite this match being billed as a ‘dead rubber’ in the build-up, Jurgen Klopp will still be hoping for a big Liverpool win whilst some individuals in his side will be looking to take their opportunity tonight to impress the boss.
16'
Good work from Tsimikas down the left forces a corner for the away side. The Greek full-back delivers but the danger is cleared easily by the Midtjylland defence. Salah strikes at goal soon after, but the Liverpool forward is flagged offside.
14'
The hosts take a long throw that’s cleared by the head of Fabinho. The ball falls kindly for Dreyer on the edge of the box though, but his left-footed volley from 30 yards is well wide of Kelleher’s goal.
12'
Despite conceding that very early goal, Midtjylland have largely responded well. Cajuste, Onyeka and Evander are doing well to nullify their opposing Liverpool midfield through the middle of the park.
9'
F. Onyeka gets yellow.
Onyeka goes into the referee's book after a late challenge on Origi.
5'
Evander floats a ball across from the resulting set piece and Sviatchenko has a free header from around 15 yards out. The defender can’t aim his effort goalward though and the ball easily clears the Liverpool goal.
3'
That’s not the start that the home side had been hoping for but Cools responds by forcing a corner out of Williams. This is a chance for Midtjylland.
1'
Mohamed Salah has scored a goal for Liverpool!
Referee Francois Letexier blows his whistle and we’re underway here in the heart of Denmark!
GOOOOAAALLLL!!! 1-0 TO LIVERPOOL. SALAH!!! Well, what a start that is from the visitors! A poor back pass is pounced on by the Liverpool forward who advances towards the home sides penalty area before placing it under the onrushing ‘keeper from 15 yards out.
With both of these sides already knowing their final position in Group D prior to kick-off due to previous results – expect to see a much-rotated Liverpool side tonight face a Midtjylland outfit still desperate to produce a major upset in their first Champions League group stage appearance.
