Loris Karius is set to keep his place in the Liverpool side for Wednesday night’s Champions League last 16 first leg with FC Porto.

Boss Jurgen Klopp adopted a policy of rotating his keepers for domestic and European action in the first half of the season.

Simon Mignolet played in the Premier League matches with Karius, who was regarded as the deputy at the time, given the opportunity to start all six Champions League group games.

Since then the German shot-stopper has jumped above Mignolet in the pecking order with Karius enjoying a promising upturn in form after being handed an extended run in the side.

Rather than switch his keepers again between different competitions, Klopp is expected to keep faith with the 24-year-old for both the Premier League and the Champions League from now until May.

Asked who would start in goal at Estadio do Dragao, Klopp said: “To be honest I have not made the final decision but it is not the same situation as it was.

“A good one will play. That’s the plan. But I haven’t made the decision so far.”
