Live Stream: Watch Liverpool vs Dortmund live online
Liverpool take on Dortmund in the second leg of the Europa quarter-finals this week and the Reds will look to improve on their impressive away performance in Germany earlier this month.
Jurgen Klopp came away with a 1-1 draw from Westfalenstadion last week and will be hoping to qualify for the semi-finals with a similar or better performance at Anfield this week.
The German outfit were below par at home and will want to make amends when they travel to England this week.
Both teams are blessed with some fantastic attacking talent and it should be a fairly exciting game. Dortmund and Liverpool will both look for a win and it should be an open contest.
