For the two sides, this will be their first-ever appearance; Monterrey is, by most accounts, a tough Liga MX side that are regulars in the Mexican top-flight, with 4 championships to their credit... -1986 Mexican Premier Dvision -2003 Mexican Clausura -2009 Mexican Apertura -2010 Mexican Apertura *-unlike the Premier League, Liga MX divides its' seasons into 2 halves and holds a tournament for the first half of the year - known as the Apertura - and one for the second half of the year - known as the Clausura. The Wiki explains it below....

(The Guardian) PreambleHello and welcome to Qatar for today’s second Club World Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Monterrey. The European champions are back in action for the second time in as many days after enlisting a youth team for yesterday’s 5-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup, which dashed their quintuple hopes. But a far more familiar cast is on call today as the Reds enter directly into the semi-final stage to face the Concacaf Champions League winners, who advanced with a 3-2 win over host nation representatives Al Sadd on Saturday. Should Liverpool survive today’s test as expected, they’ll advance to Saturday’s final against South American champions Flamengo, who came from behind to see off Saudi side Al-Hilal in yesterday’s first semi-final. More to come directly, including the just-in team sheets, with kickoff roughly 45 minutes away.

(The Guardian) TEAM NEWSJürgen Klopp has made five changes from the side that beat Watford on Saturday to maintain their 10-point lead atop the Premier League table. The big change comes in the heart of the defense where skipper Jordan Henderson will pair with Joe Gomez. Adam Lallana, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will come into the midfield while James Milner takes over at right back with Robertson moving over to the left side. Monterrey--XI: Barovero, Sanchez, Vangioni, Medina, Montes, Pabon, Ortiz, Pizarro, Gallardo, Carlos Rodriguez, Funes Mori --Subs: Cardenas, Resendez, Basanta, Layun, Gutierrez, Vasquez, Arturo Gonzalez, Meza, Jonathan Gonzalez, MejIa, Jonathan Urretaviscaya, Zaldivar Liverpool--XI: Alisson, Milner, Henderson, Robertson, Gomez, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Keita, Salah, Shaqiri, Origi --Subs: Lonergan, Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Williams, Jones, Firmino, Mane

(The Guardian) About 10 minutes from kickoff. A big ovation for crowd favorite Mo Salah when he emerged from the tunnel for warm-ups. A quick look at the inbox as the Khalifa International Stadium slowly fills. Here’s a question from Peter Oh. Hi Webster, Is Monterrey’s Funes Mori the same Funes Mori formerly of Everton? (I’m trying to find any dash of spice to liven up my appetite for this match.)Monterrey’s Rogelio Funes Mori is the twin brother of the departed Everton defender Ramiro, who did quite a number on Liverpool’s Divock Origi a few years back. Unless of course we’re getting Parent Trap’d.

(The Guardian) 1 min: And we’re off! Liverpool attacking from right to left in all-red kits, Monterrey from right to left in white-and-blue striped shirts with blue shorts. Last night’s first semi-final between Flamengo and Al-Hilal drew an announced attendance of 21,588. A bit of a fuller crowd for tonight’s match but far from a sellout of the 48,000-seat Khalifa International Stadium, it appears.

(The Guardian) 4 min: Crisp two-way pace to start off. Henderson is playing the left center back position for Liverpool with Gomez on the right. Liverpool have the first decent chance of the night as Shaqiri cuts back just outside the area but sents a shot wide of the target.
