THE PREDICTION
While both of these teams possess plenty of attacking firepower, this first leg could be somewhat cagey. Liverpool will be keen to get an away goal here but both teams will be cautious not to allow their opponents to outnumber them or find too much space, so do not expect a goal fest.
