Liverpool vs Sevilla FC Preview

Liverpool have the opportunity to avenge their 2016 Europa League final loss to Sevilla when they host the Spaniards in this game.

Jurgen Klopp has brought back Champions League football and Liverpool fans will be hoping that they go all the way to the final of the competition they have won 5 times already.

They come into the game on the back of a humbling 5-0 defeat at Manchester City.

That was their first loss of the season and their biggest loss since the 1930s.

Liverpool have won all of their competitive home games this season scoring 9 goals and conceding just one – Jurgen Klopp will be expecting his players to get back to winning ways in this game and Phil Coutinho’s inclusion is a major boost for them.

Sevilla are the kings of the Europa League but the Champions League is a different ball game and they have struggled to make their mark in this competition so far.

They have lost 6 of their last 11 away games in the competition winning just 2 and Liverpool do not look like a team they can roll over.

They have lost some of their players this summer and that could play a big role in their progress in this competition.
