Many people thought this Champions League knockout tie would be a close affair between Liverpool and Porto, but judging by the first leg, those people were well and truly wrong. Liverpool romped to a 5-0 hammering of Porto away from home, and can now relax coming into the home leg at Anfield and think ahead to their trip to Old Trafford on Saturday.
This may mean a few rotational changes, but Jurgen Klopp won’t want to stop their momentum at such a crucial point in the season. For this reason, we’re still expecting a fairly strong lineup despite the 5-0 aggregate scorleine.
Liverpool have continued their winning ways in the Premier League as well, beating West Ham and Newcastle since that first leg tie to make it five wins and one draw in their last six competitive games. During this time they have scored a huge 18 goals, so things could get even worse for the visitors.
