The Mighty Reds qualified for the last eight after losing to Anfield for the first time this season in all competitions, 1: 0 to Inter, but won in the sum of the games male to 0: 2 in Milan in the first meeting.

For Jurgen Klopp's squad where Trent Alexander Arnold, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz did not start in Saturday's win over Watford and of the three only the Senegalese opened.

As is known, Alexander Arnold has been injured for the last two weeks and only returned to training at the weekend, the Colombian Dias returned from his team games in South America and was rested while Mana was a partner in Senegal games against Egypt and Muhammad Salah and only came off the bench on Saturday instead of Egyptian.

Joe Gomez, Roberto Firmino and Diego Giota went down to the bench.

Benfica, on the other hand, surrendered 3: 2 to Braga in the league and lost a streak of nine games without a loss in a season that they are expected to finish in third place only.

According to reports in Portugal, Benfica's professional team enlisted the help of Wolves' staff, who know Liverpool well, to prepare a game plan aimed at preventing the visitors from gaining a significant advantage ahead of next week's rematch.

Darwin Nunes and Rafa Silva attack Benfica, with the latter being one of seven players to beware of a yellow card that will cause them to miss the return.
