Liverpool travel to Benfica for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final as Jurgen Klopp eyes another win.
Liverpool take on Benfica in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Estadio da Luz, looking for an advantage ahead of the second leg at Anfield next week.
If the Reds are able to see off Benfica this round, they will take on either Villarreal or Bayern Munich in the semi-finals.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have had a fairly easy ride so far, seeing off Atletico Madrid, Milan, and Porto, and cruising past Inter in the round of 16.
Benfica qualified as runners-up behind Bayern, and in turn knocked Barcelona down to the Europa League. The Portugal club also overcame Ajax in the last round to book their quarter-final clash with Liverpool, and will not go down without giving the Reds a tough fight.

Benfica: Vlachodimos; Gilberto, Otamendi, Vertonghen, Grimaldo; Weigl, Taarabt; Rafa, Ramos, Everton; Nunez
