Liverpool are yet to lose in the European Cup/Champions League to Roma in three previous meetings. Liverpool have scored 33 times in the Champions League this season. The Reds fans played their part against City in the quarter-final and its expected to see that same passion and energy on and off the pitch.
Whereas Roma have won just one of their last 14 Champions League games on the road – and that was at Qarabag earlier in the season – and are without a clean sheet in their last 26 away games in the competition.
Newly crowned PFA Footballer of the Year Mo Salah has scored in his last four Champions League starts for the Reds and will meet up with a number of old friends and former team-mates. That friendship will be put on hold for 90 minutes.
