(Reuters) - Liverpool expect Porto to be highly motivated for Wednesday's Champions League group stage meeting and will not take their opponents lightly despite having qualified for the last 16, manager Juergen Klopp said on Tuesday.

Liverpool, seven points ahead of second-placed Porto in Group B, were comfortable 5-1 winners in the away fixture in September, with Klopp saying the Portuguese outfit would be eager to avenge that heavy defeat.

"We know our opponent will be motivated on the highest level for two main reasons. One, we won there in a way that they didn't like... and on the other hand if they win they have the final game of the group against Atletico Madrid." Klopp said midfielder Jordan Henderson and left back Andy Robertson were both available to start following their recent return from injury, but added he would decide on their participation closer to the game.
