'Reds will look to take Roma out of their comfort zone'

The Reds entertain the Serie A club in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie this week, with Stadio Olimpico the venue for next Wednesday’s second meeting.

Anfield also hosted the first leg of Liverpool’s last-eight encounter with Manchester City when, amid an ear-splitting atmosphere created by the home fans, a display of ferocious intensity saw Jürgen Klopp’s side race into a three-goal lead before half-time.

And Gerrard believes Klopp’s team will look to replicate that type of performance against Roma.

“I think Liverpool will come out with a high tempo at Anfield and really try to play at a speed to take Roma out of their comfort zone,” the legendary former Reds captain told Roma TV.
