Liverpool vs AS Roma | Uefa Champions League semi-final, first leg | Tuesday, 7:45pm BST | Anfield

Champions League glory is only three games away for Liverpool as they kick off their semi-final tie against AS Roma at home on Tuesday night.

Liverpool's reward for knocking out Manchester City 5-1 on aggregate is a two-legged tie against Italians Roma in the final four of the competition.

Jurgen Klopp may have been pleased to avoid Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the draw, but Roma's stunning turnaround against Barcelona in the quarters - winning 3-0 at home to progress 4-4 on away goals - shows the attack-minded Giallorossi fear nobody in Europe.
