Liverpool can bolster their chances of reaching their first Champions League final in eleven years when they face Roma on Tuesday.

The semi-final first leg takes place at Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp’s side odds-on (4/7) to win on the night and 4/9 to qualify for the next month’s Kiev showpiece.

The Reds surrendered a two-goal lead against the Premier League’s basement side West Brom on Saturday, which gave their hopes of a second-placed finish a significant setback.

Klopp’s selection for the Hawthorns was clearly made with their big European match in mind, resting a number of key players, and he is expected to name the same team which shocked Man City in the first leg of the quarter-finals.

One player who did feature was Mo Salah, who has since been crowned PFA Player of the Year ahead of Kevin De Bruyne, and the Egyptian took his tally to 41 goals in 46 appearances for the Reds this term as he scored in their 2-2 draw.

Salah told the crowd at the awards on Sunday evening how he is still targeting records this term, while Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson compared him to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo with Salah adding that he would certainly love to be the man to fire the Reds to a sixth European title.

He is, of course, coming up against his former team-mates, having swapped Rome for Merseyside last summer.

The 25-year-old can be backed at a tempting 7/2 in a score-and-win double, 5/2 to open the scoring and less than even money to be on the scoresheet at any time.

Roma have not done too badly without him though, despite his 19 goals and 15 assists in all competitions for them last term. They finished last season as runners up and this time they sit third, 17 points adrift of second-placed Napoli.
