And the Reds have history on their side ahead of the meeting as they knocked out Inter at this stage in 2008.

The Merseyside giants beat Inter 2-0 at Anfield in February 2008 thanks to late goals from Steven Gerrard and Dirk Kuyt.

They would go on to keep another clear sheet in the second leg as Fernando Torres scored the only goal of the game.

Incredibly, only Zlatan Ibrahimovic from the Inter starting XI is still playing today.
