Liverpool vs Villarreal

UEFA Europa League

Anfield, Liverpool

Live Stream: Watch Liverpool vs Villarreal live online 

Villarreal travel to Anfield for the second leg of the UEFA Europa league semi-final and the Reds will be looking to overturn the 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Spain.

Liverpool are on a poor run at the moment and this will be a great opportunity for them to make amends. A series of poor results against Newcastle, Villarreal and Swansea back to back has put the home side under pressure.

However, this is a season-defining game for the Premier League giants and they usually tend to do well under pressure, especially when the chips are down.

Jurgen Klopp’s side crashed to a late 1-0 defeat at El Madrigal last week as Villarreal defended remarkably and ended up scoring a late goal thanks to a well-executed counter attack.

The away side just needs to avoid a defeat to make it to their first European cup final and Liverpool will be needing another magical performance at Anfield, just the like the one against Borussia Dortmund.
