The Reds trail 1-0 from the first game last week but Alexis Sanchez is part of the squad again, after recovering from a knee injury.

The former Barcelona forward will be itching for an opportunity to put one over his former club and really kickstart his campaign after a stop-start few months.

“Alex has been here and played here so it's a big night for him,” said Ole at his press conference at the Nou Camp, scene of his greatest moment as a player. “When he's on the pitch, I'm sure he wants to prove a point.

”He wants to prove a point for us as well, because he's been injured, he's not had a fantastic season so far and let's hope he can end it great for us because we are at the business end.
