Liverpool romped to a 4-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday night in what was ideal preparation for the welcome of FC Porto. The Reds have already wrapped up top spot in Group B, so we could see a changed Reds side on Wednesday. Porto secured a 5-1 win over Feirense in the Taca de Portugal over the weekend to make it three wins from their last four. Their only defeat in the group stages so far came in a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Wednesday's opponents in Portugal. The home side should make changes, but Liverpool still have the quality in personnel to continue their 100% start to their Champions League campaign. 3:1
Liverpool have won their last 4 matches (Champions League). Liverpool have been winning at both half time and full time in their last 3 matches against Porto in all competitions. Liverpool have won 5 of their last 6 matches against Porto in all competitions. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Porto's last 6 games (Champions League). Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches (Champions League). Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against Porto in all competitions.
Jurgen Klopp is expected to ring the changes on Wednesday night with top spot already secured in Group B. Joe Gomez, Roberto Firmino, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott are certainly ruled out, so there is a good chance some of Liverpool's youngsters will play. Diogo Jota took a heavy bang to his knee in the 4-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday and is unlikely to be risked in midweek. With qualification secured, there is perhaps no need to rush someone prone to breaking down with muscle injuries like Thiago. The likes of Nat Phillips, Taki Minamino, Ibrahima Konate, Caoimhin Kelleher, Divock Origi and Neco Williams could all start here, though the latter pair are doubts through illness and injury, respectively. FC Porto have a clean bill of health for their testing trip to Anfield. Evanilson and Toni Martinez are competing to partner Mehdi Taremi in attack.
