The Champions League semi-final has arrived in what will no doubt be another incredible European night under the floodlights at Anfield as Liverpool welcome a Villarreal side looking to secure their first final in Europe's top competition just a year after winning the Europa League. Jurgen Klopp's side could well make history this season to add to the League Cup they lifted earlier this season but face a Villarreal side who have been fantastic in Europe this season.
Liverpool are the favourites for the first leg at 30/100 with Betway while Villarreal are 8/1 longshots and a draw is 9/2. The Reds have met the Yellow Submarine just twice before in Europe with both sides winning the home leg in the 2015/16 Europa League semi-finals which led to Klopp securing his first European final as Liverpool boss.
The Reds will be looking to lift the European trophy for a historic seventh time after seeing off the likes of Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Porto in the group stages before knocking out Inter Milan and Benfica. Villarreal qualified after lifting the Europa League trophy against Manchester United who they later faced in the group stages this season along with Atalanta and Young Boys.
