Liverpool will play host to Porto on Thursday in their next UEFA Champions League match at Anfield as things get heated in Group B for the round of 16 qualifications. The Reds have confirmed their berth for the knockout round of the European tournament with four back to back victories, including a double over Diego Simeone’s Atlético de Madrid. But Liverpool’s opponents Porto are currently involved in a two-way race with La Liga giants Atlético Madrid for the top-two finish and a loss in this game could have serious consequences for them.
Liverpool are coming into this game after a 4-0 win over Arsenal in Premier League while Porto hammered Feirense 5-1 in the fourth round of Taça de Portugal.
The UCL match between Liverpool and Porto is slated to begin at 01:30 am (IST).
