Fixture: Liverpool vs Villarreal
Competition: Europa League
Kick-off: 20:05 (UK time)

Liverpool have officially announced their starting eleven and substitutes to welcome Villarreal to Anfield for the second leg of their Europa League semi-final tie.

The Reds went down to a late, late goal in the first leg in Spain and start this evening's match 1-0 behind on aggregate. Boss Jurgen Klopp turns to striker Daniel Sturridge in an attempt to sink the Yellow Submarine, while Roberto Firmino, Adam Lallana and Philippe Coutinho will support the England international hitman.




Emre Can returns in midfield, while James Milner also plays. At the back, Kolo Toure and Dejan Lovren form the central defensive pairing, ahead of goalkeeper Simon Mignolet. Nathaniel Clyne and Alberto Moreno are the full-backs.

On the bench, Klopp can call for Christian Benteke if he needs to throw on another striker, while winger Jordon Ibe is another attack minded option for the German tactician.
