Porto looked, at best, like a middle-to-bottom Premier League side, and I did not see anything from them at Anfield that will worry Reds boss Jurgen Klopp for next week's second leg. Klopp's side played some good football at times and, with no injuries and hardly any drama or scares, it was just the kind of night that they wanted before they resume their Premier League title bid against Chelsea on Sunday. Liverpool reached last season's final, where they lost to Real MadridLiverpool should be able to cruise through the second leg, which will help their Premier League title bid too. But with the way Liverpool are set up, and the threat they pose on the counter-attack, the way the tie is poised suits them perfectly. Manchester City play at Crystal Palace on Sunday (14:05 BST kick-off) with Liverpool hosting Chelsea immediately afterwards (16:30 BST)The focus now goes back on to the Premier League title race.
