Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that he is yet to make any decisions on his starting lineup for Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg against Porto at Anfield.
The Reds are all but through to the quarter-finals already courtesy of an impressive 5-0 win in the reverse fixture at the Estadio Do Dragao, but Klopp has insisted that he will not make wholesale changes.
One player who may be rested with one eye on the weekend clash with top-four rivals Manchester United is 32-goal Mohamed Salah, although Klopp refused to reveal whether or not the free-scoring Egyptian winger will be involved.
"We respect Porto too much and we respect the competition too much to think about real rotation. I haven't made a decision so far on the line up. I have the time, I need the time. It's second day recovery today and then tomorrow we have a meeting about tactical things," he told reporters at his pre-match press conference.
"I haven't made a decision [on Salah] so far. We don't rotate to avoid something, we just use the players who are in the best shape. We won't rest players but maybe we will make one, two or three changes.
"Porto are a fantastic team and Portuguese football is very strong. We scored from almost every chance in the first leg. It doesn't say anything about the level in the two different leagues. I know they have some injuries but I don't expect the Porto B team. I expect them to show a real reaction."
Liverpool are bidding to reach the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 2008-09.
