Liverpool stars arrive at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp ponders changes against Porto

Jurgen Klopp is considering his midfield options for Liverpool's clash with Porto.

The Reds are in action in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at Anfield.

Liverpool's players were seen arriving at Anfield on Tuesday afternoon as they look to mount a first-leg advantage.

Klopp must do without Andy Robertson through suspension, meaning James Milner is likely to deputise at left-back.

That leaves the Liverpool boss with a key decision to make in midfield for the visit of the Portuguese giants.

Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum and Naby Keita started against Southampton but struggled, despite the latter finding the net.

Wijnaldum was hooked off for skipper Jordan Henderson, who helped turn the game around before scoring his side's third goal.

The England midfielder is expected to come in and it could be Keita to miss out after a difficult first season on Merseyside.

"On the other side, we have made this big step in the league. We are responsible for the league not being decided yet.

"In all other seasons we would have probably 60-something points and be fighting with five other teams for three places behind City.

"This is completely different. I love this season much more."
