Team News

Porto:

Sergio Conceicao's last UCL trip to Anfield again ended on a disappointing note as Liverpool took down Porto by 2-0. They again succumbed to Liverpool in both their matches and are now in a dreadful situation as they hang by a thread. Porto will be hopeful of the Liverpool vs AC Milan match as that result will heavily impact their qualification chances.

Porto head into Tuesday's crucial battle on the back of an eighth Primeira Liga victory on the bounce, easing past Portimonense 3-0 thanks to Luis Diaz, Vitinha, and Otavio's strikes.

Suspensions:

Mateus Uribe is suspended for surpassing the limit of yellow cards.

Injuries: 

Pepe is still unclear with his muscular issues, but Ivan Marcano and Joao Mario are set to miss out.

Comebacks:

Marchesin will expect to be handed the gloves. while Fabio Cardoso is in the backline.

Atletico Madrid: 

Diego Simeone's side lost on their own turf against AC Milan as Junior Messias's pinpoint header in the 87th saw the Rossoneri take the match away and push Atletico Madrid at the dead bottom of the table. However, Atletico Madrid can still qualify if they manage to beat Porto and wait for the Liverpool vs AC Milan results. 

Simeone's men have suffered quite the fall from grace since finishing atop the pile in La Liga last term. A 2-1 league defeat at home to Mallorca at the weekend means it is just three wins from their last 10 in all competitions for Atletico, who have not kept a clean sheet away from home all season and have chosen the worst time to lose some of their defensive names to injury and suspension.

Suspensions:

Felipe is banned following his matchday red card against Liverpool.

Injuries:

Stefan Savic, Jose Gimenez both are out injured.

Comebacks:

Thomas Lemar rejoins the troops in the middle.
