Liverpool have one foot in the Champions League final ahead of their second-leg clash with Villarreal in Spain.

The Reds dominated the opening gambit with a 2-0 victory at Anfield that has set them up perfectly for the reverse fixture on the continent.

A deflected Jordan Henderson cross broke the deadlock before Sadio Mane landed a haymaker two minutes later against a Villarreal side whose game plan was understandably designed to contain Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp will be determined to enter this one without complacency and will urge his team to play as they always do, with verve and vigour.

However, despite Liverpool's first-leg dominance, Unai Emery's men are not out of this one. He faces a tricky balancing act with the onus now on Villarreal to attack the Reds.

Our prediction: Villarreal v Liverpool

The first 15 minutes of this one will be vital. A third strike from Liverpool effectively kills the tie, an early goal from Villarreal transforms the shape of it.

Emery's compact, organised, gritty style did its job in the first leg: Villarreal are not out of it yet. However, they need to come out of their shell here to find two goals, at least, while not sacrificing their defensive stability.

Villarreal certainly boast a chance here though it's a slim one. They may well find a chink in the armour of Liverpool, but in doing so, they will open up and Liverpool will exploit the gaps.

Our prediction: Villarreal 1-3 Liverpool (12/1 at Bet365)
