English Premier League side Liverpool are taking Italian giants Roma in Stadio Olimpico with 3 goal advantage in the second leg of Uefa Champions League semifinal.

The Reds beat Romans 5-2 in the first leg of the encounter where Mohammed Salah netted brace. Roberto Firmino and English midfielder Chamberlain also netted for the visitors.

Roma are threatening to pull a come-back similar to what enabled them to knock out Barcelona at the quarterfinals. Liverpool on the other are missing former Arsenal midfielder Alex Ox-lade Chamberlain through injury. They will try to hold on to their goal advantage as they eye final against Real Madrid in Kiev.

Roma: Alisson; Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov; Pellegrini, De Rossi, Nainggolan; Schick, Dzeko, El Shaarawy

Liverpool: Karius; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Lovren, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Henderson, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Prediction: Both teams are capable of scoring many goals in this match. It will be either a draw or a win for Roma but Liverpool will surely advance to the finals.
