Liverpool FC great turned Paddy Power ambassador Phil Thompson is back to run the rule over The Reds’ Champions League quarter final second leg against Benfica. Jurgen Klopp’s crew have a comfortable 3-1 lead from the first leg and will be heavily fancied to make it through on Wednesday night.

WELCOME TO PADDY POWER NEWS!

Does Thommo agree? You bet he does. But where’s the value in this one? Will Liverpool rotate? That’s a lot of questions and they’re all answered here with Thommo’s Liverpool v Benfica tips.

Wednesday 8pm: Liverpool v Benfica

TV: BT Sport 3

Is this tie over? Well, I hope so. Our boys will be a little bit tired, what a fantastic game it was at The Etihad, a wonderful football match. It was great, wasn’t it?

We were talking prior to the Man City v Liverpool game that Liverpool were big away scorers, City were the big home scorers so we were expecting goals at The Etihad and we got them. But we got a wonderful performance and Liverpool played their best team. Will Jurgen Klopp make the changes?

I expect Luis Diaz to start this one, he sat out at the weekend. Mo Salah and Sadio Mane are looking a little bit tired so I think Diogo Jota might start this one as well.

But I do think Liverpool will get this done. Darwin Nunez, playing for Benfica, he got a hat-trick at the weekend. He’s looking like a decent player so that will be quite interesting.

They had 27 attempts against the bottom of the league so it will be interesting. I’m going for Liverpool to Win to Nil. I’m going for Luis Diaz to Score Anytime as well.

Who would I have a sneaky fiver on? I would have it with Liverpool to Win the Champions League. We’ve been there before we’ve done it. City have come unstuck against Chelsea. I do see it, there’s a great possibility of it being an all-English final yet again.
