A Tuesday to Sunday turnaround ahead of the Premier League game should have got the worst effects of the Suárez antics out of Man City’s system, but playing the second leg away at Atlético on the Wednesday night ahead of a Saturday meeting in the FA Cup could be hugely testing. In a title race of such fine margins, perhaps the effects of the trip to Portugal will have a residual impact, but with more than four full days to recover it should not prove decisive. If all goes well, Liverpool may even be able to field a second string side in their own second leg, which will be played at Anfield: the difference is stark. Ninety minutes of handling Suárez, Simeone and all the other wily old foxes, even at the Etihad, is worth about six flights to Lisbon. It is still a colossal ask for Liverpool to come through this fortnight unscathed. Nonetheless, if the Uruguayan is locked into one of his goalscoring veins of form, it is very bad news for Manchester City. Now 35, he is also no longer a certainty to start, but he will relish any chance he gets to make a nuisance of himself. However, the striker will surely have been grateful for the run-out, a great confidence-booster ahead of his biggest game of the campaign. READ MORE: Mohamed Salah may finally have realised what Liverpool always knew as contract solution 'near' To make matters worse for Man City, their opponents are entering the tie in extremely good form, in stark contrast to Benfica. Unbeaten in eight and on a six-game winning streak, they warmed up for the Champions League tie with a 4-1 drubbing of Alavés. Suárez and João Félix both helped themselves to braces. Félix has not even been a guaranteed starter in the league this season, with Simeone typically preferring to save the talented youngster for the big Champions League nights. It was immediately clear that the Champions League draw had been kind to Liverpool. It would be dangerous to write off Benfica out of hand, but on paper they are the weakest side left in the competition. Sandwiched between that first game are the two legs of the Champions League quarter-final against Benfica. It doesn’t get much more high-stakes, but Jürgen Klopp could hold a critical four-game advantage — and Luis Suárez is partly to thank.
