Liverpool will play Barcelona on Tuesday in the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League as the season nears it’s completion. Both teams will be looking for a win here.

Kick-off : 8:00 PM (Local)

Venue : Anfield, Liverpool

Liverpool will be hoping that they claim the Premier League title although Manchester City are favourites. The Reds though will have their eyes set on the Champions League howsoever tough it might be.

Liverpool should be aware that Barcelona will be out their to win dominating the game and they should make their game plans that way. Liverpool should bring their A game into play executing to potential.

The Reds will need to avoid away goal and then look to score three goals or more. They next play Wolves to complete the Premier League season.

On the other hand, Barcelona will be quite pleased with their efforts in the first leg winning comprehensively 3-0 against a top side in Liverpool at home and taking a huge advantage in the tie of 2018/19 UEFA Champions League semi’s.

But the work is not done and they must finish the tie in Liverpool to progress. Liverpool will give their all but Barca needs to ensure they spoil their plans and get a goal to make it tough.
