Liverpool and Barcelona

Liverpool and Barcelona Live :Liverpool and Barcelona are targeting memorable seasons as the European heavyweights meet in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night.

Barcelona vs Liverpool team news and predicted line-ups
Roberto Firmino appears to be winning his fight to be fit for the first leg. The Brazil forward, who missed last Friday's Premier League victory over Huddersfield with a small muscle tear, was included in Jurgen Klopp's 23-man squad to travel to Barcelona.

Midfielder Fabinho has been passed fit, while rumours that forward Mohamed Salah had suffered an injury scare proved wide of the mark as the Egyptian played a full part in Tuesday's session.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who returned last week after a year-long lay-off with a knee injury, was also involved. Adam Lallana, who has been sidelined with a muscle problem, did not participate and was not included in the travelling squad.

That group did include 19-year-old forward Rhian Brewster, who is building up his fitness after more than a year on the sidelines with knee and ankle injuries.

Head to head (h2h) history and results
The teams have met eight times in official Uefa competitions, with Liverpool edging those encounters. The Anfield club have won three times and drawn three times, with Barca winning twice.

The last time the two sides met was back in 2007 in the Champions League round-of-16, with Liverpool progressing on away goals after Craig Bellamy's infamous golf club goal celebration at Camp Nou.
