Liverpool travel to Portugal in the UEFA Champions League tonight to face an FC Porto side which they have comfortably knocked out on two separate occasions in recent years.

In 2018 on their way to the final in Kyiv the Reds scored five at the Estádio do Dragão in a crushing victory, before securing victory in the quarter-finals a year later ij the season in which a sixth title was won in Madrid against Tottenham Hostpur.

Both sides have started their respective league campaigns well and remain unbeaten, with the REds topping the Premier League and Porto second in the Primeira Liga.
