Players to watch out for: Porto vs Liverpool Live
Porto
Grujic
The midfielder will have a point to prove against his old club. He will be more motivated to perform better against his old side. With his team likely to be on the backfoot it will be important for him to protect that backline very well. This will be necessary so that Porto are able to stay in the game.
Liverpool
Mo Salah
With the fullbacks likely to be the creative outlet for the Reds it will be the attackers to finish the chances. Currently, Liverpool relies upon Salah to get them firing. Milner and Andy Robertson will get the space to swing in the crosses but there has to be someone to finish them. Thus, if the Egyptian suffers a bad day, the Reds will suffer as well.
