Stats: Reds out to stage another European comeback at Anfield

Liverpool have progressed on nine of the previous 14 occasions in which they lost the first leg of a European knockout tie away from home.

Jürgen Klopp’s side host Atletico Madrid at Anfield tonight seeking to enhance that particular statistic in order to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The European champions were defeated 1-0 at Estadio Metropolitano last month, but have the chance to overturn that narrow deficit on home turf this evening.
