Liverpool have travelled to Portugal to take on Porto at the Estadio do Dragao on Tuesday evening in the UEFA Champions League.
The game is part of the second round of matches in Group B with Atletico Madrid taking on AC Milan in the other fixture.
Liverpool lead the group after a win over Milan in a fantastic fixture between the sides – the first-ever game between the two sides that was not the final of the Champions League.
Porto, on the other hand, sit on one point after their goalless draw with the Spanish champions and can feel aggrieved not to have gotten the win in Madrid.
Liverpool are unbeaten against the two-time European champions, winning five and drawing three in their eight matches against each other to date – all games were played in the 21st century.
The two sides have met in this competition several times in recent years, with some famous away days for the Redmen as they went to two finals in a row.
Sadio Mané scored a hattrick on Valentine’s Day in 2018 as Jurgen Klopp’s men sealed their spot in the quarter-finals after just one leg of their last 16 tie against the Portuguese giants with a 5-0 win.
A strong team performance saw Liverpool earn a semi-final match-up against Barcelona when they won 4-1 in April 2019, during the campaign in which a 14-year wait for a sixth European cup came to an end.
Jürgen Klopp reported no fresh injury concerns ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League trip to FC Porto, with Naby Keita set to return.
