Wijnaldum back, Keita or Ox keep place? – Predicting Liverpool’s lineup vs. Salzburg

More rotation is expected from Jurgen Klopp on Tuesday night, as Liverpool visit Salzburg in a make-or-break Champions League clash. The Reds enjoyed a drama-free victory on Saturday, easing to a 3-0 win away to an ineffective Bournemouth side. Klopp’s men are two matches into a relentless December that could see them play nine times across four different competitions. Next up is Tuesday’s trip to Salzburg, with Liverpool knowing that avoiding defeat will see them reach the Champions League knockout stage. Rotation has been the order of the day of late and that should be no different at the Red Bull Arena.

The best photos as Wijnaldum returns to training ahead Liverpool’s trip to Salzburg

Liverpool prepared for their Champions League game with Salzburg with a training session at Melwood in front of the cameras. A make-or-break tie in Austria sees the Reds needing a draw to guarantee progression, while a win would seal top spot in the group. Jurgen Klopp would love to have his entire squad available for such a crucial encounter, but the Reds are without Fabinho and Joel Matip for the entirety of the Christmas fixture list. A couple of injury scares at the weekend added to that concern, but Dejan Lovren—who went off in the first half—and Gini Wijnaldum—who missed the game entirely—were both in training with the squad at Melwood on Monday afternoon. Adam Lallana, who also missed the trip to Dean Court, seemed to train apart from the main group, however, making it unlikely he features in the squad in Austria.

Liverpool confirm 19-man squad for Champions League trip to Salzburg

Dejan Lovren and Gini Wijnaldum have been included in Liverpool’s 19-man squad for their final Champions League group game at Salzburg. The Reds need a point at least to seal a last-16 spot, while a win guarantees top spot. They’ll have to do without Fabinho and Joel Matip, who were already injured, while Adam Lallana will miss the match too after picking up a knock before the weekend. With Wijnaldum and Lovren back, Jurgen Klopp still has a strong squad to pick from, though there will be decisions to take at centre-back and in central midfield, in particular. Curtis Jones is included in the squad, however, and the young midfielder will be on the bench for the second game in succession, with third-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher the travelling player who will not be in the matchday squad.

Stephen Townsend told Reuters in a statement that he believes the Russian air defense operators “didn’t know it was a US remotely piloted aircraft when they fired on it.” “But they certainly know who it belongs to now and they are refusing to return it. They say they don’t know where it is, but I am not buying it,” Townsend said.

Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Elton John, Randy Newman Nominated For Golden Globes

This morning, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced its nominations for next year's Golden Globes. Once again, Thom Yorke didn't get nominated for anything. Instead, in the nominations for Best Original Song, you'll find three big centrist pop stars. Taylor Swift's song "Beautiful Ghosts," from the horrifying-looking forthcoming Cats musical is up for Best Original Song. (Swift co-wrote the song with Andrew Lloyd Webber, and the Golden Globe way is to simply name the songs themselves rather than the performers or songwriters.) She's competing against fellow heavyweight Beyoncé, also up for a track from a feline-themed musical. Beyoncé is up for the Lion King song "Spirit," which she co-wrote with Ilya Salmanzadeh and Timothy Lee McKenzie. A one-decade-later Kanye West stage-crash is not likely, but it's not impossible, either. Swift and Beyoncé's fellow nominees include Elton John, up for "I'm Gonna Love Me Again," from the Elton John biopic Rocketman. (John co-wrote that

White Island: Tourist hotspot and New Zealand’s most active volcano

New Zealand's most continuously active volcano White Island has erupted, killing five people and leaving many more unaccounted for. Police said "no sign of life" could be seen on the island following the tourist attraction's latest eruption, so the death toll is likely to rise. The eruption sent huge plumes of smoke and ash into the air when it erupted on Monday afternoon. The threat level was raised last month following an increase in activity - meaning eruptions are more likely than normal and can happen with little or no warning. White Island last erupted three years ago.
