Phil Thompson predicts Liverpool's team to face Atletico Madrid

Former Liverpool coach Phil Thompson has predicted a win for his former side in the Champions League last 16 first leg against Atletico Madrid.

The Reds have won the Champions League trophy last season. This term they are going to face their Spanish rivals at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium tonight in order to defend their title.

Ahead of the first leg, the Sky Sports pundit has predicted the lineup Jurgen Klopp will use during the clash. He said: "Roberto Firmino will complete the three amigos and the back four will be the same. He will pick Fabinho as he was rested at Norwich, He will come into the starting team. It will be Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum in front of him, as Wijnaldum was substituted with a view of starting this game. It was great to have Sadio Mane back at Norwich. He has become as important as Mohamed Salah this season. Being on the bench with the Champions League game coming up on Tuesday, but whether we would have been winning or losing, he would have been coming on to gain the relative game-time."
