Liverpool will fancy their chances of qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals when they face Porto.
Jurgen Klopp‘s side have been given a rather favourable quarter-final tie and their Portuguese opponents will be hoping to avenge their 5-0 drubbing in last season’s round of 16.
After coming through against Bayern Munich in the previous round courtesy of a 3-1 victory, Klopp will be eager to get off to a quick start.
Having warmed up for the clash against Porto with a win away to Southampton last Friday, Klopp’s side should be in buoyant mood.
With Mohamed Salah returning to goalscoring ways, Porto will have a tough task on their hands trying to contain the fearsome trident.

Team news and expected line-ups
Jordan Henderson is likely to return to the starting line-up after his half an hour cameo against Southampton and he could come in for Naby Keita.
Joe Gomez may not be ready in time to start which could see Joel Matip partner Virgil van Dijk in the heart of defence.
The only other injury issue is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, but after a long injury lay-off, Klopp may think twice about risking him.
Meanwhile, Andy Robertson is suspended after picking up a booking late on in the second leg against Bayern in the Allianz Arena.
For Porto, former Real Madrid man Pepe is likely to miss the game through suspension.
Alex Telles has picked up a hip injury, so it is unclear at this stage whether he will be fit to play.
Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold; Matip, Van Dijk, Milner; Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Porto (4-4-2): Casillas; Maxi Pereira, Militao, Felipe, Alex Telles; Danilo, Oliver; Corona, Marega, Tiquinho, Otavio
