Coach Rafa Benitez and his Liverpool side are riding a ten-match unbeaten streak in the top European club competition prior to this match-up.

To add to their confidence, the Merseysiders are undefeated in five home meetings with the Blues, winning the last match 2-0 back in February.

Benitez, however, said he'd prefer to play at home for the second leg.

"Clearly the difference is not too big between both sides, so I feel the little things, the small details, will be the difference. But to play home or away, it depends on the first game. if you can play well and score goals and keep a clean sheet. But, you never know, I prefer to play at Anfield the second game, but we cannot change, so we will try to do well", Rafa Benitez said.
