We’ve reached the business end of the 2021/22 Champions League with just eight teams left in this season’s competition. Liverpool are firmly in the hunt.

The Reds travel to Benfica for the first leg of their quarter-final tie on Tuesday evening and will be keen to earn a lead to take back to Anfield – as they did against Inter in the previous round.

Having triumphed in the Carabao Cup, Jurgen Klopp’s men remain on course for a historic quadruple but the German boss will know how steep a challenge that will be.

Their hosts Benfica edged past Ajax at the round of 16 stage, winning 3-2 on aggregate, and despite being a fair way back in the Portuguese top-flight have been on a pretty impressive run over the past few months.

Even so, they’re not a European heavyweight that most other sides are faced with at this point in the competition.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Benfica v Liverpool on TV and online.

Our prediction: Benfica v Liverpool

The Premier League title race is really hotting up but Liverpool’s full focus on Tuesday evening needs to be coming away from Estádio da Luz with a lead they can defend at Anfield.

That approach worked well for them against Inter and Klopp will be asking his side for a similarly professional performance this time around.

All things considered, they should be able to secure another two-goal lead ahead of the second leg.

Our prediction: Benfica 0-2 Liverpool (6/1 at Bet365)
