Liverpool make the travels to San Siro on Wednesday night to face the Serie A holders Inter Milan in the first leg of the Last-16 tie in the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp’s men would be eyeing another win on the back of their stellar run of recent form which saw them pick up three points in a tough away outing at Turf Moor over the weekend.
Fabinho’s first half strike proved enough to secure the three points for Liverpool against the basement side Burnley with the former keeping pace with the league leaders Manchester City.
A return to Champions League action at San Siro, meanwhile, would be much anticipated by Jordan Henderson and Co. following their group stage win over AC Milan towards the backend of last year.
