Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp waves away the prospect of resting his key players for the Champions League visit of Porto on Tuesday night.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has waved away the prospect of resting his key players for the Champions League visit of Porto on Tuesday night.

The Reds have a healthy 5-0 advantage from the first leg of the last-16 tie, but ahead of a crucial Premier League meeting with Manchester United on Saturday, the German told reporters that Porto still carry a threat in the European tie.

"It's not about rest," Klopp said. "Porto have won all their games since we played them. They will strike back, that's what they want. They are Portuguese and proud and will give a fight.

"If anybody here thinks they come here and give the game up, leave their star players at home or whatever they are mistaken. It's Champions League and the whole world is watching.

"I don't think for a second about resting anybody. I know it's Manchester United afterwards but we cannot change it."

Sadio Mane was the star performer of the first leg, netting his first hat-trick for Liverpool.
