Liverpool have never been eliminated from a European Cup/UEFA Champions League knockout tie after winning away from home in the first leg – in addition, the last time they won both legs in the Round of 16 was back in 2008-09 against Real Madrid.
Leipzig have made two changes to their side that beat Freiburg last time out. Forsberg and Sabitzer come into the side to replace Haidara and Sorloth, who drop to the bench this evening. Poulsen and Forsberg lead the line for the German outfit.
Liverpool have made five changes to their side that was beaten last time out by Fulham. Alexander-Arnold and Kabak return to the backline in place of Neco Williams and Rhys Williams. Fabinho is fit to start in the midfield alongside Wijnaldum, while Thiago also plays. Keita and Milner drop out of the team. Shaqiri makes way from the final third to accommodate Mane.
RB LEIPZIG SUBS: Willi Orban, Ibrahima Konate, Amadou Haidara, Hwang Hee-Chan, Alexander Sorloth, Lazar Samardzic, Justin Kluivert, Marcel Halstenberg, Josep Martinez, Benjamin Heinrichs.
RB LEIPZIG (3-1-4-2): Peter Gulacsi; Nordi Mukiele, Dayot Upamecano, Lukas Klostermann; Kevin Kampl; Tyler Adams, Marcel Sabitzer, Dani Olmo, Christopher Nkunku; Emil Forsberg, Yussuf Poulsen.

RB Leipzig need to take the game to the Reds this evening given their two-goal deficit. The German outfit were off the boil defensively in the first leg and were duly punished. Julian Nagelsmann's side have been in great form since their defeat, reeling off four wins on the bounce in all competitions, including a 3-0 win over Freiburg last time out. It will take a flawless effort tonight to topple Liverpool though.
Liverpool hold a 2-0 lead heading into the contest courtesy of goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in the first leg. The Reds have endured a miserable run of form in the Premier League, losing six out of their last seven games. Jurgen Klopp and his team will feel the Champions League offers respite, and considering their form at Anfield, they may not mind playing in Hungary this evening as they look to secure a quarter-final berth.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the second leg of the Champions League round-of-16 clash between Liverpool and RB Leipzig at the Puskas Arena.
