FC Porto vs Liverpool
Uefa Champions League
Quarter-final, second leg (aggregate 0-2)
Venue: Estadio do Dragao, Porto
Kick-off: 8pm GMT, tonight
Although Liverpool’s focus will return to Champions League matters on Wednesday, the Reds would be excused for having one-eye on the weekend’s Premier League trip to Cardiff City.
Jurgen Klopp's side take a 2-0 lead to the Dragao on Wednesday after goals from Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino.
FC Porto recorded a sixth-straight victory in the Primeira Liga at the weekend, and Sergio Conceicao will be able to field a stronger side to the one available to him at Anfield last week.
But will it be too little too late for the Portuguese side? A semi-final against Barcelona awaits - and Standard Sport runs the rule over this second leg tie…
