From Paul, Formby, via text on 81111: "Martin Kelly does start and I’m delighted for him, he’s a real star of the future. Having Gerrard back will be more of a hindrance for us than help as his form is worse than pathetic. I sadly can’t see past three more defeats and, possibly, a sacking in the next eight days."From Paul_Seaton at Twitter:](http://twitter.com/Paul_Seaton)"I can see Liverpool conceding tonight. It’s not just Lisandro Lopez, either. Lyon have got goals in their team."1905: AZ v Arsenal line-ups:
AZ: Romero, Moisander, Jaliens, Moreno, Poulsen, Holman, Mendes Da Silva, Schaars, Martens, El Hamdaoui, Dembele.
Subs: Didulica, Lens, Klavan, Wernbloom, Van der Velden, Swerts, Pelle.
Arsenal: Mannone, Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Clichy, Song Billong, Eboue, Fabregas, Diaby, Arshavin, van Persie.
Subs: Almunia, Vela, Ramsey, Silvestre, Wilshere, Gibbs, Merida.
Referee: Martin Hansson (Sweden).BBC Sport’s Phil McNulty at Anfield: "Liverpool are forced into a late change as Martin Kelly comes in at right-back for Glen Johnson, who is understood to have a groin problem. Steven Gerrard, as expected, returns in midfield after missing the defeat at Sunderland while David Ngog gets his chance in attack with Fernando Torres still sidelined by injury. An unfamiliar look about this Liverpool side on a big night for Rafael Benitez’s team."1902: Liverpool v Lyon line-ups:
Liverpool: Reina, Kelly, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Mascherano, Lucas, Kuyt, Gerrard, Benayoun, Ngog.

AZ 1-2 Arsenal
Barcelona 3-0 Rubin Kazan
Debrecen 1-2 Fiorentina
Inter Milan 1-0 Dynamo Kiev
Liverpool **2-2 Lyon
Olympiakos 2-1 Standard Liege
Rangers **2-1 Unirea Urziceni
Stuttgart 2-2 SevillaFrom kinsang on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A58595881)“Rangers - playing one up front at home against the weakest team in the group Some ambition from a team wanting to join the EPL!”**1856: Rangers **make three changes from the side that returned to the top of the SPL on Saturday with a 2-1 win over St Johnstone. Pedro Mendes has been passed fit and returns to the starting line-up along with Stevie Naismith and Kenny Miller, who is expected to be the lone striker in a 4-1-4-1 formation. Stevie Smith, Kyle Lafferty and Kris Boyd drop out, while Lee McCulloch continues in the heart of defence after Madjid Bougherra picked up an injury in training.1853: Rangers v Unirea line-ups:
Rangers: McGregor, Whittaker, McCulloch, Weir, Papac, Naismith, Mendes, Davis, Thomson, Rothen, Miller.
Subs: Alexander, Boyd, Novo, Beasley, Smith, Lafferty, Fleck.
Unirea Urziceni: Tudor, Galamaz, Maftei, Bruno Fernandes, Nicu, Gomes, Apostol, Brandan, Balan, Bilasco, Varga.
Subs: Arlauskis, Mehmedovic, Paduretu, Onofras, Semedo, Bordeanu, Frunza.
Referee: Eric Braamhaar (Holland).1851: There are unconfirmed reports that Glen Johnson misses out for Liverpool tonight, with 19-year-old Martin Kelly starting at right-back. More on that soon.1848: Arsenal have never met AZ in Europe before, but they were the first ever visitors to Alkmaar’s brand spanking new DSB Stadion in August 2006,winning a friendly 3-0.AZ coach Ronald Koeman, who won this trophy twice as a player, has now managed five clubs in the Champions League, a record - and he knows Thomas Vermaelen only too well as they were both at Ajax last season.1845: Lots can happen tonight. In fact, Sevilla can break a Champions League record by becoming the first team to qualify from the group stage after only three matches. But we don’t want that to happen, because as well as the Rojiblancos needing to beat Stuttgart, Rangers would have to draw at home to Unirea as well. Oh, and Russian minnows Rubin Kazan face champions Barcelona at the Camp Nou.With their coach Kurban Berdyev dubbed the ‘Russian Brian Clough’,that’s good enough for me.1841: I’m sure Liverpool fans will want to get involved tonight on an important evening for their club, but there is plenty going on outside Anfield too. Arsenal travel to Netherlands to take on AZ Alkmaar, Rangers host Unirea Urziceni and there are five other Champions League games, not to mention a full programme from the Championship. **Text to 81111,**Twitter me up right here](http://twitter.com/Stevo_football)andjoin the debate on 606 too.1837: There hasn’t been much attempt to play down the return of Liverpool’s captain fantastic within Anfield. Check these quotes out:
Rafa Benitez: “With Steven around, it has an effect on the other players. He is an inspiration to them. He is a winner with the right mentality.”
Defender Daniel Agger: "The results have not been right. But having Steven Gerrard back from injury will be a real inspiration.1833: Liverpool have lost their last three games. They haven’t lost four in a row since March 1987, when Tottenham, Wimbledon and Norwich beat them in the league and Arsenal triumphed in the League Cup final. But fear not, Reds fans - Steven Gerrard is back.1830: Nearly five years ago,Liverpool legend and BBC Sport pundit Alan Hansen warned his former club they risked becoming a "relic"if they did not find new investment and get back to challenging for the major trophies. Today, Rafael Benitez’s sidelies eighth in the Premier League,having lost four of their nine games, andthird in Champions League Group E,having lost 2-0 to Fiorentina last time around. Tonight, they welcome French league leaders Lyon to Anfield, with Manchester United to follow five days later.
