Villarreal vs Liverpool

Moving to the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool already have a foot through the door to the finals. The Merseyside giants secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory over surprise package Villarreal in the first leg of their semi-final tie last week to all but confirm their progression. They must now avoid complacency and get the job done in a professional manner when they visit Estadio de la Ceramica this Tuesday night.

Liverpool have not lost a game in any competition since their Round of 16 second-leg defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League. Currently on a 12-game unbeaten streak, Klopp’s men head into Tuesday’s clash on the back of a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Following the first leg loss at Anfield, Villarreal suffered another defeat, losing 2-1 to Deportivo Alaves in La Liga. However, Unai Emery’s men have shown that they cannot be taken lightly, having eliminated Bayern Munich in the previous round. Currently on a 12-game unbeaten run at home in all competitions, the Yellow Submarine have the wherewithal to put up a strong fight and make things difficult for Liverpool.
