Liverpool boast a formidable lead as they prepare to face Porto in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
The Reds recorded an emphatic 5-0 victory over the Portuguese giants last month and look primed to progress into the last eight of the competition.
With such a strong lead secured, Jurgen Klopp may opt to change things up for the home leg, particularly with a crunch Premier League game against Manchester United to come.
While the tie is not technically decided, it will take a gargantuan effort for Porto to turn things around and they will mainly be playing for pride.

Match Preview
Getty ImagesLiverpool made light work of Porto when the sides met in February with Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane - who bagged a hat-trick - all getting on the scoresheet.
They welcome the Portuguese side to Anfield on Tuesday armed with a formidable advantage, which suits them nicely considering their upcoming match against Manchester United.
Klopp has indicated that he will avoid the temptation to rest his key men, arguing that he wants to show his opponents respect, but the sensible thing would be to save his stars for Old Trafford.
"I really want to show respect," the Reds boss told reporters. "I want to show respect to the opponent, to the tournament, and I want to have the best line-up possible and the best line-up which makes sense to win the game, because that’s why we are here."
Klopp has said that he is wary of a backlash from Porto, who would need to win by at least six goals to go through.
However, with five goals in the bank and the race for second-place heating up, he will be forgiven for having the audacity to mix things up on Tuesday.
