Liverpool will hope to maintain their rampant goalscoring form when they take on Porto in the next batch of Champions League fixtures on TV this week.

The Reds have scored three goals in each of their last five matches, and six of their eight competitive matches across all competitions in 2021/22 have ended in them scoring three times.

Mohamed Salah leads the charge for Liverpool with six strikes to his name this term, while Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane have stuck in three apiece.

Jurgen Klopp will be keen for his defence to sharpen up, however. The Reds drew 3-3 with Brentford at the weekend and the German boss will be determined to emphasise the importance of keeping clean sheets to his team as the season progresses.

Porto did manage to shut out Atletico Madrid in their first Champions League match of the season with a goalless draw to begin their campaign. They will hope to exploit the minor cracks in Liverpool's armour.

Our prediction: Porto v Liverpool

Liverpool are looking good in 2021/22 but they're not completely settled. If those three-goal hauls dry up – and they inevitably will – can they rely on their defence to step up and deliver tight performances?

In the past, the answer has been a resounding yes, and there's no reason to doubt that the tried and tested back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson can return to their imperious best.

Expect a little bit of rotation in the midfield and attacking areas from Liverpool, but Klopp will field a team capable of getting the job done.

Our prediction: Porto 1-2 Liverpool (15/2 at bet365).
