However, the task is not going to be easy against a Benfica side that has already knocked out Barcelona and Ajax in the competition. The Aguilas are strong at home so this will be a testing night for the Merseysiders.

Liverpool Team News

Jurgen Klopp has no injury worries for this encounter. Trent Alexander-Arnold was an unused sub against Watford but is fully fit. Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz also started from the bench.

Naby Keita has returned from a knee injury. Meanwhile Joel Matip and Curtis Jones picked up knocks on Saturday but should be fit enough to start from the bench.
