Liverpool faces off against Barcelona at Camp Nou in the semi-final of the Champions League tonight with high stakes on the line as two titans clash in what was supposed to be the final of this year's tournament.

Liverpool qualified for the semi-finals after Porto were eliminated 6-1 in the aggregate, while Barcelona qualified at the expense of Manchester United after winning 4-0.

The Reds lead by Egyptian star Mohammed Salah, against the newly crowned La-Liga champions, will face a hard task as their ace striker Robert Fermino is doubtful to return on time as he is currently facing a thigh injury.

The Brazilian is well trained and is on the team's list, but Jurgen Klopp, the manager of the England team, may save Fermino on the bench.

The predicted Line-up for tonight's clash is as follows: 

Barcelona

Goalkeepers: Mark Andre-Ter-Stegen

Line of defence: Simidou-Gérard Pique-Clement Lenglé-Jordi Alba

Midfield: Rakeitch-Busquets-Arthur Millow

Forward: Lionel Messi-Luis Suarez-Philippe Coutinho

Liverpool

Goalkeeper: Alison Baker

Line of defence: Alexander Arnold-Matip-Virgil van Djick-Robertson

Midfield: Fabenho-Henderson-Finaldum

Forward: Mohamed Salah-Sadio Mane-Oreigi (Fermino)
