Porto vs Liverpool
Liverpool and FC Porto will go head-to-head on Wednesday as they look to fight for a place in this year’s Champions League semi-final.
Jurgen Klopp’s side do come into the game with a big advantage as they beat Porto 2-0 in the first leg at Anfield.
Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino got the goals in that outing.
However, despite Porto having to overturn a 2-0 deficit, Liverpool fans may have been hoping for a few more goals in the home leg.
This is because Liverpool’s away form in Europe this campaign has been rather questionable.
Baring their round of 16 win over Bayern Munich, the Reds have lost all of their other away UCL ties this season.

Liverpool injury update
Prior to facing Porto, Liverpool have been handed some injury boosts.
Jordan Henderson picked up an ankle injury on Sunday as Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 to return to the summit of the Premier League table.
However, the England midfielder has trained with the main squad ahead of Wednesday’s game and now looks to be in contention to feature.
Adama Lallana has also returned to training with the first team after missing Liverpool’s last three outings.
