What is the form of Liverpool as compared to Porto's?
Liverpool approaches Tuesday's UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash with Porto on the back of a 14-game unbeaten run across all competitions. The last time the Reds lost a game was via a 2-1 scoreline in a Premier League clash with Wolves back in January.
Last Friday, the Merseysiders secured a last-gasp win over Southampton to move a step further in their quest for the Premier League title this season. Over the course of the last 10 matches, Liverpool has managed seven wins while drawing on three occasions. The Anfield outfit has scored 22 goals over the period and has conceded just six.
Relatively, Porto has enjoyed a similar amount of success considering eight of their last 10 matches have resulted in wins. The Portuguese club has lost and drawn one game apiece during the period. Sergio Conceicao's men enter the European cup clash with Liverpool on the back of a 2-0 league win over Boavista.
Team News: Who is injured or suspended for Liverpool vs Porto?
Jurgen Klopp revealed in his pre-match press conference that all his key players who picked up minor knocks in last Friday's win over Southampton should be fit and ready for Tuesday's test with Porto. However, midfielder Adam Lallana will be unavailable for selection as he is yet to recover from a muscle injury.

The same applies to Joe Gomez who, despite recovering from a lower-leg fracture, will not be rushed into the first team. Full-back Andrew Robertson is suspended after picking up a late booking in the Round of 16 win over Bayern Munich.
Porto named a 23-man squad list for the trip to Anfield but had the names of veterans Pepe and Hector Herrera amiss as the pair is currently serving a suspension. Despite being named among the squad left-back Alex Telles remains a doubt as he is yet to fully recover from an injury.
What is the head-to-head record of Liverpool vs Porto?
There have been six meetings between Liverpool and Porto in the past. The former has been triumphant in three of the matches and have drawn the remaining three.
The last encounter between the two teams took place in the 2017/2018 Champions League Round of 16 and it ended in a stalemate.
What are the managers saying ahead of Liverpool vs Porto?
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool:
"Porto deserved it, in a spectacular manner they came through against Roma. They are a very experienced team, together with Benfica first in the table in Portugal, a really strong side with more experience than last year.

"They brought in Pepe; OK, he cannot play tomorrow, but they brought him in. Casillas is now in the goal even in the Champions League.
"It's a different game to last year and we have to play it again, and we want to play it again – we are really happy about the opportunity, we were really happy after the Bayern game that we are still in the competition.
"It's important for the club and important for the team. So, let's try to do it again."
Sergio Conceicao, Porto:
"I think it's possible to win here.
"We've prepared to win, that's what we're going to work towards.
"We need to work very hard. Sometimes we'll be without the ball, there'll be difficult transitions. We have to be very balanced from an attacking sense."
