    LIVERPOOL TEAM NEWS

    Team to play Porto: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Milner, Mane, Salah, Origi

    Subs: Mignolet, Gomez, Henderson, Keita, Shaqiri, Sturridge, Firmino

    • With Liverpool travelling to Porto with a 2-0 lead, Klopp has made a few changes from the team that beat Chelsea and the team that beat Porto too.

      Both Keita and Firmino, the scorers that gave Liverpool their 2-0 advantage, are dropped to the bench. The back 5 though is as predicted and Klopp brings both Gini and Milner into Midfield to partner Fabinho.
      Origi comes in to replace Firmino with Mane and Salah both starting.
      Hendo joins Keita and Firmino on the bench with Gomez also fit enough as the only ‘recognised’ defender to call upon. Shaqiri and Sturridge are the other 2 outfield players in the squad.
      Its unlikely that Liverpool will repeat their 5-0 scoreline they managed on their last visit to Porto but they know Porto will need at least 2 unanswered goals to keep in the CL in regular time. An away goal would mean Porto need 4 goals to go through. The need to score may leave gaps for ‘pacy’ break away players to get that away goal and ‘maybe’ why Klopp has opted to rest Firmino and go for a very pacy front 3. If anything, to concern Porto enough that they don’t commit to many men forward.
