Liverpool vs Villarreal: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news and h2h results today

Liverpool entertain Villarreal at Anfield today in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final showdown.

Manchester United and Everton, Liverpool’s two biggest rivals, have been conquered in the last week as Jurgen Klopp’s side remain in contention for an unprecedented quadruple.

Where Manchester City’s clash with Real Madrid is a meeting of two powerhouses of European football, Liverpool will surely have favoured being on this side of the draw.

That is not to say Unai Emery’s Villarreal will be easy opponents of course, particularly after they beat Juventus and Bayern Munich, but the game looks to be one in which Klopp’s team will be strong favourites.
