Liverpool starting line-up: James Milner among NINE changes predicted for Benfica clash

Liverpool face Benfica in the Champions League quarter-finals second leg.

Liverpool aim to move into the Champions League semi-fnals when they welcome Benfica to Anfield this evening.

The Reds take a 3-1 lead into the quarter-final second leg after victory at the Estádio da Luz.

But Jurgen Klopp will be warning his troops of complacency - and away goals in Europe’s elite club competition no longer count.

Still, Liverpool are firmly in the driving seat to reach the last four of the Champions League for a third time in five years.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Klopp mooted he’ll look to freshen up his side.

The Reds shared an enthralling 2-2 draw with Premier League title rivals Manchester City at the weekend - and they again meet Pep Guardiola’s side in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.

Liverpool have fully-fit squad to select from for a third successive game and that gives Klopp the scope to rotate his squad should he wish to do so.
