Last season Liverpool and Atletico were in the same Champions League group and the result from both matches was a one all draw. That would be a great result for The Reds to bring back to Anfield ahead of the second leg and then it's all about a special night at home.
Atletico's record in Europe so far this season despite being in the semi-finals of the Europa league is less than impressive, it reads 12 games played, one win. Rafa will relish playing back in his home land and the wily old fox will have drilled into his team how to come away with a result.

Dirk Kuyt is just the type of player to sneak in a crucial goal in this game and then run his socks off closing down anything that comes down his flank, pinning the Atletico players in their own half.
Liverpool fans know what to expect from him and has habit of bagging crucial goals.
In the absence of Torres he's the market leader for Liverpool at 13/2 for the opening goal, it's also 33/1 Kuyt scores first and the match ends 1-1.
