UEFA have singled out three players Liverpool could do with keeping an eye on in the Champions League semi-final against Roma.
The European footballing body published a scouting report on their official website which named Edin Dzeko, Diego Perotti and Cengiz Under as the players that could pose the Reds some problems.
Liverpool have struggled defensively this season so it makes sense that their back line has been identified as a weakness.
UEFA wrote the following: “Attacking rather than defending; acting rather than reacting – these are key mantras of Roma’s game. With both full-backs keen to overlap, Roma’s approach is all-assault with the main aim of getting the ball to Edin Džeko; and if that fails Cengiz Ünder and Diego Perotti are encouraged to cut inside and shoot.”

Under scored on his Champions League debut against Shakhtar Donetsk in the 2-1 first-leg defeat.
Roma lost the battle but won the war, booking a place in the next round on away goals – the away goal Under netted.
The Turkey international went onto provide the assist that knocked Barcelona out of the following round – again it was an away goal, this time scored by Kostas Manolas.
Under has been involved in two goals in his last three games in the Champions League and is expected to feature against the Reds.
The rising star was signed from Basaksehir as Mohamed Salah’s replacement, who joined Liverpool over the summer.
