THE PREDICTION
Liverpool have the luxury of knowing they will finish in top sport regardless of the result here and, with a congested fixture schedule up ahead for Jurgen Klopp’s men, there will surely be a fair degree of rotation here. The likes of Takumi Minamino and, if fit, Divock Origi should see game-time but it’s still a tall order for FC Porto to get a result in front of the Anfield crowd. The visitors are second in the group and have every chance of making it through to the knockout stage so will look to take advantage of a weakened Liverpool here. They have the potential to do that but could be susceptible on the counter-attack so both teams could find the net here.
