Liverpool will lock horns with the red half of the Portuguese capital Benfica for the second time in the hope they can book their place in the Champions League semi-finals.

The Reds got the better of their Liga NOS opponents in the first leg by winning 3-1. Goals came from Ibrahima Konate, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz who gave the Premier League side the advantage – with Darwin Nunez keeping the tie alive for the visitors.
