1746: Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson on his side's task tonight: "We know we have got a tough game. Utrecht are a good team and, in particular, strong at home. We are anxious to get a good result. The mood, spirit and desire amongst all the players is very good."

vishalLFC on Twitter: "Decent line up put out by Hodgson. would have liked to have seen Pacheco play tonight though. hope Jovanovic plays a part."

1741: One of my colleagues, Saj Chowdhury, spoke to Utrecht striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel this week. The young Dutch striker revealed that some of his team-mates make fun of his name. "They sometimes call me Van Wolfsshop because 'winkel' means 'shop' in English - it's funny eh?," said the 21-year-old. Hmmm, I can't help thinking he's gotten off lightly there.

From Damien Quigley in Kildare, via text: "Re 1719. Seven out of seven are you kidding? Have you been watching Liverpool this season? We have no chance."

1737: FC Utrecht might not be the biggest name in the Europa League this season but Liverpool should under-estimate the Dutch side at their peril, especially at Stadion Galgenwaard. Last season, Utrecht kept clean sheets at home against all of the top five clubs in the Eredivisie; FC Twente (0-0), Ajax (W2-0), PSV (0-0), Feyenoord (0-0) and AZ (W1-0).

FC Utrecht v Liverpool team news
Mandeep Sanghera reports: "Liverpool striker Fernando Torres starts as Reds boss Roy Hodgson selects a strong looking line-up with only two changes from the 2-2 draw with Sunderland. Lucas Leiva comes into central midfield for the absent Steven Gerrard, while Martin Kelly replaces injured left-back Paul Konchesky. FC Utrecht midfielder Nana Asare misses out but in-form striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel starts for the Dutch side."

1730: There are only two things I definitely can't live without tonight, and they are 1. Goals and 2. Chat from you lot. I know you won't let me down: Tweet me at chrisbevan_bbc on Twitter, join the regulars on 606 or text me via 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666 (worldwide).

FC Utrecht v Liverpool
Mandeep Sanghera reports: "Not only is it the first meeting between FC Utrecht and Liverpool, it's also the Dutch side's first game in Europe against an English side. But Utrecht did beat Scottish outfit Celtic 4-0 at home to qualify for the Europa League group stages and the Reds know they will have to be wary as they play their 300th Uefa club competition game. The Group K tie sees Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt return to the Stadion Galgenwaard club which proved the launchpad to his career and where he scored 51 league goals in 160 matches from 1998 to 2003."

1725: Let's kick off with some team news for Liverpool: Fernando Torres starts for the Reds. More info on their starting XI to follow.

1723: Myself and Europa League Macca will be doing our best to keep you across the other 22 Europa League games that are also happening this evening too... I'm expecting quite a few penalties after what happened on Tuesday and Wednesday but, whether this week's Euro spot-kick frenzy continues or not, the next few hours are unlikely to be dull. I hope not, anyway.

1719 BST: After five wins out of five for British teams in Europe this week, it's time to see if Liverpool and Manchester City can make that a magnificent seven out of seven. They are both in Europa League action tonight, with the Reds kicking us off in the Netherlands against Utrecht at 1800 BST, and City taking on Italian giants Juventus at Eastlands at 2005 BST.
