Beware of the thunderstorm, says Jurgen Klopp as boss warns Liverpool stars to be braced for torrid night at City in Champions League showdown

Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool to be braced for a Manchester City 'thunderstorm' in Tuesday's showdown for a place in the Champions League semi-finals.

Liverpool's hopes of protecting the 3-0 advantage they gained at Anfield have been boosted by Mohamed Salah's recovery from a groin injury picked up in the first leg.

But Klopp is wary of City starting the match as ferociously as they did the Manchester derby, when they led 2-0 inside half an hour.
