Right-wing: Mohammed Salah
Do I even need to say anything? Such has been Salah's form that, forget winning the PFA Player of the award, he's been hailed as the best player after the extra-terrestrial duo of you-know-who.
A total of 41 goals in all competitions this season is bettered only by Cristiano Ronaldo. So this has to be some stat.
Naturally, Salah would once again be the attacking outlet for Liverpool and also their best chance of scoring.

As the Reds are at home for the first-leg, they need plenty of them - like they did against City - and Salah's blazing form guarantees a couple more.
Forget Messi, Salah is the true test of Roma's defence. Pass, and they have one foot in the finals.
Left-wing: Roberto Firmino
This might be a bit odd, but both Firmino and Dzeko have been terrific in the attack for their respective sides. Ostracising anyone of them wouldn't be fair. Hence the tweak here.
The Brazilian may have eclipsed a little due to Salah's stellar run robbing all the limelight, but he too has been going about his duties with elan.
He has 15 strikes in the Premier League and another eight in the Champions League, and he's bettered only by Salah in those counts in the team. But, he's the most prolific striker in this competition with those figures.
Firmino will lead the line again, and even if Salah were to be contained, Roma have another big headache to deal with in the shape of this 26-year old.
Striker: Edin Dzeko
While his return of six goals in 10 Champions League games might not seem impressive, but they've come in some really crucial times and against crucial teams.
He scored twice against Chelsea to ignite a comeback after trailing by two goals; scored the deciding goal against Shakhtar in the second-leg; scored at the Camp Nou to allow Roma return with a crucial away goal, before instigating another comeback against Barcelona with the opening strike.
This testifies Dzeko's importance to Roma's fortunes in Europe this season. He's once again their main target man against Liverpool.
Some, or maybe a significant, part of Roma's progress to the finals will rely on how clinically he converts his chances.
