When Liverpool take on FC Porto in the Champions League this evening, Jurgen Klopp will be hoping his team can carry on their winning start to life in Group B.

The Reds took part in an enthralling encounter against AC Milan at Anfield on matchday one eventually emerging as 3-2 winners after trailing at half time.

The Estádio do Dragão has been a happy hunting ground for the Reds in recent years winning their last two encounters 4-1 and 5-0.

FC Porto started off their Champions League Group B campaign with a well earned point in a 0-0 draw against Atletico Madrid in Spain.

This fixture sees Marko Grujic face the club that sold him to the Portuguese team in the summer.
