Liverpool are heavy favourites to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

Jurgen Klopp the head coach

Liverpool have one foot in the Champions League semi-finals after beating Manchester City 3-0.

The quarter-final first leg at Anfield was a one sided quarter-final with Liverpool scoring three first half goals.

Manchester City did not muster a shot on target as Liverpool shut Pep Guardiola’s side down with ease.

BBC pundit Robbie Savage has though warned Liverpool that they still have a lot of work to do.

Robbie Savage of BT Sport looks on during the Emirates FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on May 27, 2017 in London, England.

He discussed how while other Champions League matches may be pretty much over after the first leg, he believes City can still come back.

Savage warned: “We’ve seen Real 3-0 up, tie is over. Real Madrid 3-0 up on Juventus, I think the tie is over. Barcelona 4-1 up. The tie is over. Bayern against Sevilla, the tie is over.

“But is this tie over? No Henderson, is Salah going to be fit? I don’t think it is over.”

#10 Mohamed Salah of Egypt looks on during the International Friendly between Egypt and Greece at the Letzigrund Stadium on March 27, 2018 in Zurich, Switzerland.

Midfielder Jordan Henderson picked up a booking late on which has left him suspended for the return at The Etihad, while Mohamed Salah limped off injured.

The severity of the injury is yet to be determined but Liverpool will be cautious despite the Merseyside derby at the weekend.

Liverpool lost 5-0 away to City earlier in the season and this result alone is reason enough for the Reds not to get complacent.
