Trent Alexander-Arnold on the key to Liverpool's progressing into Champions League semi-final

Trent Alexander-Arnold believes Liverpool's growing momentum will help propel them to a second successive Champions League semi-final appearance.

The Reds travel to Porto on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday night's return leg in Estadio Do Dragao with Jurgen Klopp's side in the driving seat, having won the Anfield clash 2-0 last week .

Goals from Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino have ensured the Reds fly to Portugal as favourites for the tie and Klopp's players head into the game on the back of seven successive victories.

Since the goalless draw in the Merseyside derby with Everton on March 3, Liverpool have beaten Burnley, Bayern Munich, Fulham, Tottenham, Southampton, Porto and Chelsea.

The seven straight wins have kept them on course for what could yet be a remarkable Premier League and Champions League double this term.

An eighth will see them into the final four of Europe's premier competition for the second year running and Alexander-Arnold thinks the squad are well equipped to see off the Portuguese on Wednesday evening.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, the defender said: "It's always about momentum in football.

"When you're in amongst the wins and grinding out the results, you can't wait to get to the next game.

"Obviously we have fond memories of Porto last season, so we're looking to go there and hopefully replicate what we've done.

"We know it's going to be tough, it's going to be a difficult test for us. Hopefully we'll go there and keep up the momentum."
