Former Inter Milan and Liverpool midfielder Paul Ince rates the Reds as favourites for their Champions League clash.

The first-leg of the round 16 fixture will be held at San Siro stadium on Wednesday evening.

Ince told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Inter is a feeling, I still sing my chorus.

"I can't choose who to cheer on, but to win (Simone) Inzaghi will need a perfect defence. With him you play more football than that of (Antonio) Conte.

"(Nicolo) Barella has everything because he tackles, assists and scores: it's a pity you are missing someone like me, but I am the only 'governor'. (Arturo) Vidal can find new forces, I would like (Edin) Dzeko and Lautaro (Martinez) up front, even if the Toro hasn't scored in a long time, but that way he can beat fear.

"My best years were in Milan, I left it only for family reasons. My son was close to Inter and he once went into the corners with the fans: I never have lived such an incredible day."
