Liverpool vs Sparta Prague: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results and odds today
Liverpool should cruise into the quarter-finals of the Europa League as they host Sparta Prague tonight.
Barring an absolute disaster for the Reds, the last-16 fixture looks little more than a formality at this stage.
Jurgen Klopp’s side romped to a 5-1 victory away in the Czech capital last week, meaning it would take an almighty collapse to see them exit from here.
With the small matter of an FA Cup quarter-final meeting with Manchester United to come on Sunday, Klopp may look at this as another chance to field his array of impressive young talents.
Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game.
