Give Peace a Chance

Very poignant as John Lennon's 'Give Peace a Chance' plays at Anfield over the PA system !

Tonight's other UCL Round of 16 second leg clash takes place in Munich as Bayern face Salzburg with the first leg ending 1-1 in Austria a fortnight ago. With the exception of the Man City-Sporting CP clash (5-0 in Lisbon), all other games remain reasonably n the balance ahead of the second legs.

50 UCL games for Mane

Sadio Mane celebrates his 50th Champions League appearance for Liverpool tonight, becoming just the 6th LFC player to reach this milestone.

Inter arrive at Anfield having drubbed Salernitana 5-0 in Serie A last Friday, the attacking partnership of Lautaro Martínez (3) and Edin Dzeko (2) accounting for all of the Nerazzurri’s goals. However, that result was a first win in five league games for Simone Inzaghi’s side, who are locked in a tussle with AC Milan at the top of the table. Dzeko knows a little about scoring against Liverpool, having found the net in his last three games against the Premier League side, who in turn have conceded in their last four away fixtures in the Champions League.

Ukraine present at Anfield

Inter XI

Team news: Liverpool

Having said that, one feels that an early goal for the Premier League would certainly put the tie out of reach for the Italian side.

Inter will desperately seek an early goal to revive the tie with Liverpool holding a commanding 2-0 lead over Serie A title challengers. Not a scoreline that traditionally bodes well for the side on the other end of it in European competition, as Jürgen Klopp noted before the game.

Inter, meanwhile, had a mixed  group stage and have only won once in their last five Serie A outings, allowing local rivals AC Milan to leapfrog them to the top of the table.

And here's a look at Liverpool's group stage record...

Klopp on Inter

Klopp is a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and despite Liverpool's aggregate lead, and imposing record in the Champions League this season of played seven, won seven, the Liverpool boss is taking nothing for granted against the Italian champions.

"It's a danger everyone knows about: it's a lead that gets turned over the most in the history of football, I think. It's a much better result than we expected if I'm honest. The game didn't look like we would win it 2-0 for most of it. It is a tough tie and was a really difficult game. We knew they had quality but now we know they have real quality,” Klopp said in his pre-match press conference.

Liverpool hold a 2-0 advantage from the reverse fixture at San Siro, where Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah struck late to give Jürgen Klopp's side an edge going into tonight's encounter. However, with away goals counting for nothing this season, Inter will be confident of rattling the Kop with Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martínez having warmed up for this one by putting five past Salernitana between them in Serie A at the weekend.
