Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both struck in the space of five frantic second-half minutes as Liverpool took control of last month’s first leg and the two sides return to Budapest’s Puskas Arena to resume their battle for a quarter-final place tomorrow night.

Liverpool head into the match on the back of a wretched run of results domestically, with the champions losing six homes matches on the trot for the first time ever in the Premier League.

The Reds’ most recent defeat to lowly Fulham will have done little to boost confidence levels in Jurgen Klopp’s squad and a confident-sounding Angelino senses blood, despite Leipzig trailing by two goals in the tie.

Angelino believes Alexander-Arnold tends to be ‘too offensive’

Angelino looked dangerous versus Alexander-Arnold three weeks ago – after wreaking havoc against Manchester United earlier in the competition – and it appears Leipzig will deploy similar tactics in the second leg.

‘I think we did quite well in the first game, we were a few times behind their full-backs,’ Angelino told reporters on Tuesday morning.

‘Their technique on the ball is really good. Alexander-Arnold with the ball is unbelievable but he’s too offensive but that’s his best.

‘So we have to exploit the weakness and hopefully we can get a few more chances like we did in the first game.

‘We just have to put them away. That was our mistake that we didn’t put them away.’

Liverpool are experiencing their worst run since Klopp took charge in 2015

Angelino insists Leipzig must stick to their game-plan to give themselves the best possible chance of progressing as Liverpool will always be dangerous regardless of their miserable form.

‘They can beat anyone when they have a good day and everyone is fit,’ the former Manchester City defender added.

‘We have to be very focused and stick to the plan.’

On the threat posed by Salah and Mane, the Spaniard said: ‘Obviously their speed and their quality on the ball.

‘They are amazing players, they are a big difference.

‘When you play against teams that have two players like this – not one – that they are very fast on the ball, can get behind quickly and have a good shot also.

‘You have to take care of them so we’re in a good position now.

‘The pressure I would say is more on them than us.

‘We are the underdog so we go from behind.’
