Liverpool and Benfica will vie for a place in the last four of the Champions League as they meet at Anfield.

The hosts enter the second leg well placed to progress, with Luis Diaz’s late goal in Lisbon last week boosting their advantage to two ahead of their home 90 minutes.

A 3-1 victory represented a strong first result for Jurgen Klopp’s side amid a busy period as Liverpool continue to seek a quadruple.

Opponents Benfica will hope to prey on any tired Liverpool legs and minds during a hectic two week run of four high-stakes fixtures.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Champions League quarter-final second leg.

When and where is it?

Liverpool vs Benfica is due to kick-off at 8pm BST on Wednesday 13 April at Anfield in Liverpool.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on BT Sport 3, with coverage due to start at 7.15pm BST. Subscribers can stream the game via the BT Sport app or online player.

Confirmed lineups

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Gomez, Konate, Matip, Tsimikas, Milner, Keita, Henderson, Jota, Firmino, Diaz

Benfica XI: Vlachodimos, Gilberto, Otamendi, Vertonghen, Grimaldo, Weigl, Taarabt, Goncalves, Everton, Nunez, Ramos

Odds

Liverpool win 3/10

Draw 11/2

Benfica win 11/1

Prediction

Liverpool should be wary of taking their eye off the ball, rather, with progression far from entirely secure and another meeting with Manchester City on the horizon. Benfica may well give them a fright, but Jurgen Klopp’s side will progress. Liverpool 2-2 Benfica (5-3 agg.)
