Liverpool will qualify for the Europa League quarter-finals when they host Sparta Prague tonight.
Barring an outright crisis for the Reds, elimination levels at this level seem like a mere formality.
Jurgen Klopp’s side pulled off a 5-1 win in the Czech capital last week, it would take a major collapse to see them get out of here.
With the FA Cup quarter-final with Manchester United in doubt on Sunday, Klopp can see this as a chance to field his set of impressive young talent.
Here’s everything you want to know about tonight’s game.
