61'
It looks as if Liverpool are going to make a substitution, with Ings currently getting ready over on the touchline. With the Reds all but confirmed to be taking a place in the quarter-finals, Klopp is able to give a few fringe players some much-needed game time.
59'

49'

41'
It's been a slow and slightly disjointed few minutes, with neither side being able to enjoy any sort of decent time in possession. Liverpool have certainly been the better of the two teams, however, and they'll be hoping to find a way in front before the half-time break.

14'
Pereira is able to return to the pitch and join in with a good Porto attacking move. They can't make their possession count, however, as Corono is easily dealt with by Moreno and fails to keep the ball in play.
13'
Pereira seemed to receive a nasty knock on the leg as he burst down the right wing on a decent run, and it's left him on the floor on the touchline and in need of medical attention. It's also left his side down to 10 men, and Liverpool will be looking to make their numerical advantage count.
11'

We're off! Liverpool get us underway, attacking from right to left.
Good evening and welcome to our live text commentary of today’s Champions League last-16 second leg tie between Liverpool and Porto at Anfield.
Barring a disaster, Liverpool should be able to end the night safely in the quarter-finals of the Champions League thanks to a comprehensive first-leg victory. The Premier League side were in scintillating form at the Estadio do Dragao, where they comfortably thrashed Porto 5-0. It’s left their opponents with a near-impossible task heading into what should be another enjoyable evening for the Reds.
Liverpool are firing on all cylinders at the moment, and they certainly head into tonight’s clash in fine form. All of their previous four games ended in comfortable wins, with Tottenham Hotspur the last side to hold Jurgen Klopp’s men to a draw over a month ago. They’ve scored 13 times since then, with all but one of those coming from one of their brilliant front three.
With progression all but confirmed, Klopp has understandably decided to rest Mohamed Salah, but his side should still have enough talent in their ranks to easily see off their opponents. Like the Reds, Porto have won their last four games in a row - including last Friday’s hugely important clash at home to Sporting Lisbon - but were comprehensively outclassed three weeks ago, leaving them all but certain to leave the competition tonight.
For Porto to avoid doing so, they’d need to do something they’ve never done before - beat an English side in the Champions League. The Dragoes have traditionally struggled on their visits to England, resulting in them losing 10 of the last 12 games played there. They may be dominating domestically but it looks as if it’s going to be another year without a place in the last-eight for the two-time European champions.
There’s just under 15 minutes left to go until kick-off, so let’s have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this evening…
Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Loris Karius; Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Dejan Lovren, Alberto Moreno; Emre Can, Jordan Henderson, James Milner; Adam Lallana, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane.
Porto substitutes: Yacine Brahimi, Jose Sa, Goncalo Paciencia, Ricardo Pereira, Otavio, Sergio Oliveira, Luis Mata.
Porto XI (4-4-2): Iker Casillas; Maxi Pereira, Felipe, Diego Reyes, Diogo Dalot; Oliver Torres, Andre Andre, Bruno Costa, Jesus Corona; Abdul Waris, Vincent Aboubakar.
Liverpool substitutes: Simon Mignolet, Ragnar Klavan, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mohamed Salah, Danny Ings.
Jurgen Klopp has decided to make five changes to the Liverpool side that started the win against Newcastle United on the weekend, with Gomez, Matip, Moreno, Milner and Lallana coming into the starting line-up to replace Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Salah, respectively.
Meanwhile, Porto boss Sergio Conceicao has made seven alterations to the team that featured in their last outing, with Ivan Marcano, Moussa Marega, Hector Herrera, Oliveira, Otavio, Brahimi and Paciencia making way for Reyes, Torres, Andre, Costa, Corona, Waris and Aboubakar.
The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.
HALF-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-0 PORTO
It hasn't been the most exhilarating of games so far, but with such a healthy lead from the first leg, that was to be expected. Liverpool have enjoyed a few decent moments inside the final third of the pitch, though, and they look the most likely to score. Porto have remained relatively compact defensively, although they've offered little going forward.
The two teams are making their way back out on to the pitch ahead of the start of the second half. Neither side have made any substitutions during the half-time break.
FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-0 PORTO
It was always going to be a comfortable evening for Liverpool if they played their cards right, and that's exactly what proved to be the case. They were in control from start to finish and were able to take their foot off the pedal for most of the night, sending them safely into their first Champions League quarter-final since 2009.
