Man city has had the upper hand in their last three meetings with home and away win in the league last season and a win at the Wembley stadium (Tottenham makeshift home earlier in the season).

It should be a straight forward match with a Liverpool Win but what made football interesting is upset that teams like Porto pull off sometimes.
Although, Porto are good for the money to give Liverpool a tough time over the two legs. We believe the over 2.5 goals market and home win is the appropriate market to stake on this time.
Reasons been that:
- Liverpool have scored 8 goals in 4 games at Anfield in the champions league
- Porto have scored 8 goals in 4 games away from home
- Porto have scored and conceded in all their 4 away games
- Liverpool games have average 2.5 goals per game in the champions league
- Porto have average 3.38 goals per game in the champions league

Judging by the recent result from the Domestic competition, the momentum has suffered and it is probably not the best time to face Lionel Messi inspired Barcelona.
