The story of the game in stats...
Full Time
Sevilla comeback stuns Reds
Liverpool are held to a 3-3 draw by Sevilla in Spain in a quite astonishing game in Spain.
The Reds raced into a three-goal lead thanks to Roberto Firmino's brace - the first coming after 90 seconds - and Sadio Mane's header.
However, after half-time, Sevilla staged their comeback as Wissam Ben Yedder struck twice - one from the penalty spot - but Guido Pizarro lashed home a 92nd-minute equaliser.
Goal
Goal for Sevilla - Guido Pizarro
Sevilla have the equaliser deep into stoppage-time as Pizarro manages to control the ball in the box at a corner and smash home from 12 yards.
Four minutes of added time to be played...
Milner drills the ball right across the face of the Sevilla goal, about two yards out, but no-one is on hand to meet it.
Substitution
Salah makes way for Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The ball rolls across the Liverpool box near the penalty spot. It's agonising, but no white shirt is there to meet it and Liverpool clear.
Yellow Card
Emre Can goes into the book.
Can hooks a pass into the box for Mane to chase. He meets the bouncing ball with a left-foot strike but it flies over the crossbar.

Liverpool launch a counter from a Sevilla corner, but Can is unable to turn in Salah's pass as Escudero gets a toe to the ball.

Muriel on, Nolito off for the home team.
Chance
Liverpool carve out their first opening of the second half as Firmino wins the ball back of the edge of the Sevilla box. It breaks for Salah, whose drive is pushed around the post by Rico.

Substitution
Klopp reacts to Sevilla's pressure by making a double change - Coutinho and Moreno are off, Can and Milner are on.

The tale of the first half in numbers...
Half Time
Liverpool in command at the break
Well, what a first half that was for the Reds, who lead 3-0 against Sevilla in Spain.
Roberto Firmino scored twice - including the opener after just 90 seconds - while Sadio Mane was also on target.
Jürgen Klopp's men are on course to seal first place in Group E with a game to spare.
Yellow Card
Banega booked for pulling back Coutinho.
Chance
Coutinho slids in Salah, who attempts to steer beyond Rico first time, but the 'keeper saves by deflecting it behind.
Yellow Card
Alberto Moreno is booked.
Goal
GOAL! ROBERTO FIRMINO!
Liverpool go 3-0 ahead and Bobby has his second.
It owes much to the brilliance of Sadio Mane, who absolutely outstrips Mercado to reach Moreno's ball forward. He breaks into the box and shoots, but is foiled by Rico.
However, Firmino is on hand to tap into the empty net.
Amazing stuff.

Goal
GOAL! SADIO MANE!
We finally do have the second goal this game has been threatening - and thankfully it's gone Liverpool's way.
Similar to our opener, but this time Firmino flicks across goal at the near post and Mane arrives to stoop in and nod over the line.
Everyone looks to see if he is offside before realising the goal will stand and the away end erupts.
Get in!
Another chance!
Roberto Firmino speeds through on goal and strikes; however, Rico manages to block and deflect the ball behind for a corner.
Chance
Ben Yedder is sent clear inside the LFC box and he drills low across goal, narrowlly missing the far corner by an inch.
It should be 1-1.
Chance
Liverpool gift the ball away and Sevilla break from midfield. Nolito steps inside the challenge of Gomez and shoots low... Karius manages to get a strong glove to it and push it onto the post before it rebounds back into the goalkeeper's hands.
A let off for the Reds, a brilliant save from Loris.
A chance for the hosts as Escudero overlaps down the left and absolutely smacks a shot into Karius' side netting.
Well, it was certainly a flying start for the Reds on the pitch... but for those of us way up in the press box here, not so much. Our Wifi connections dropped out for 10 minutes, meaning Bobby's strike caused a little anxiety for us up here.
Think we're good now, though... fingers crossed.

The game gets under way.
A reminder of tonight's line-ups...
Elsewhere in Group E...
...there's been some good news for Liverpool's qualification prospects already this evening as Spartak Moscow and Maribor played out a 1-1 draw in Russia - Jasmin Mesanovic's 92nd-minute goal rescued a point for the Slovenian side.
That leaves the table looking like below ahead of kick-off...
Actualización del clima...
...that's 'weather update' in Spanish and we'd like to begin with an apology; we've left it far too late in the day to deliver our latest on the metrological conditions in Sevilla.
We hold our hands up and we know you're not angry, just disappointed. We'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Anyway, conditions are, quite frankly, magnificent here at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium - the weather has been glorious all day, being honest - and it's currently around 18 degrees with clear skies and no wind.
It might get a little chilly later, but it's not bad for a game in late November, is it?
Team news
Karius, Gomez, Klavan, Lovren, Moreno, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Coutinho, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
Subs: Mignolet, Milner, Sturridge, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Can, Solanke, Alexander-Arnold.
Two changes for the Reds this evening as Karius and Gomez take the place of Mignolet and Alexander-Arnold.
The stage is set...

Klopp on Matip, Lallana and Firmino
We caught up with the boss on the flight to Spain yesterday afternoon.
As well as discussing topics such as Joel Matip's injury and whether Adam Lallana may make his long-awaited return against Sevilla, Klopp also spoke glowingly about Roberto Firmino.
"What a player! What can I say? He looks like the engine of the team," Jürgen said.
Did you know?
Mo Salah could emulate a goalscoring feat last achieved for the Reds by Luis Suarez tonight...
If the No.11 nets a brace in this game, he will be the first Liverpool player since Suarez in December 2013 to score two goals in three successive matches.
