Liverpool take on Inter Milan in the Champions League tonight against the backdrop of the Mohamed Salah saga.
The Reds were pegged back in stoppage time by Leeds at the weekend, with a rollercoaster affair ending in a 3-3 draw and a share of the spoils.

It followed a dismal performance in the 1-1 stalemate at Anfield with Sunderland, which had plenty riding on it after the 2-0 win at West Ham the weekend prior.
Add the fact that star man Salah gave a bombshell interview after the Leeds game, detailing that he felt that he been “thrown under the bus” by the club and that he had “no relationship” with manager Arne Slot, and it is another sticky spell that the Liverpool boss finds himself in.
Now, they travel to seasoned veterans of Europe’s top competition, and the side that are currently third in Serie A.
Cristian Chivu’s Inter are fourth in the Champions League table, having won four and lost one of their five games so far.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are 13th, after three wins and two defeats - including a humiliating 4-1 home drubbing by PSV Eindhoven last time out.

Inter Milan vs Liverpool team news
Salah has been left out of the Liverpool squad completely after his weekend outburst, while Cody Gakpo is now injured.
Federico Chiesa has been battling illness, with Wataru Endo also out along with Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni.
As for Inter, there are three concerns.
Perhaps the biggest is Dutch right wing-back Denzel Dumfries, who could be in line for a return from an ankle issue to face the Reds.
Matteo Darmian, the former Manchester United full-back, is struggling with a calf problem, while defender Tomas Palacios is nearing a recovery from a hamstring injury.
Inter Milan vs Liverpool prediction
This is a tough one to call with Liverpool’s obvious star quality, but their poor form does not augur well for a trip to the San Siro, especially against an Inter side that are in form.
The form book does not favour the Reds at all, and Inter have the nous and cohesion that could undo this vulnerable Liverpool side.
Inter to win, 2-1.
