Liverpool take on Porto in the Champions League this evening.

Liverpool starting XI: Karius; Gomez, Lovren, Matip, Moreno; Can, Milner, Henderson; Lallana, Firmino, Mané.

Liverpool substitutes: Mignolet, Van Dijk, Salah, Klavan, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ings, Alexander-Arnold.

Liverpool are back in Champions League action this evening as they take on Porto in the second leg of their last 16 clash, having won the first leg at the Estadio do Dragao 5-0 last month.

The Reds coasted to victory in the first leg as Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane all ran riot, and manager Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to get through tonight’s second leg unscathed, with one foot already in the last eight.

Klopp has kept Loris Karius in goal after his strong display in the 2-0 Premier League win over Newcastle United on Saturday evening, whilst Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Alberto Moreno come into defence for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson, joining Dejan Lovren in the back four.

Emre Can starts in midfield alongside James Milner and Jordan Henderson, whilst Adam Lallana features in the front three in place of Mohamed Salah, joining Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane in attack.

Van Dijk, Salah, Oxlade Chamberlain and Alexander-Arnold are all named on the bench, alongside fellow substitutes Simon Mignolet, Ragnar Klavan and Danny Ings.
