Mohamed Salah is the favourite to break the deadlock with the Egyptian forward offered at 15/4 (4.75) just ahead of Diogo Jota at 9/2 (5.50) and Sadio Mane at 11/2 (6.50).

Arnaut Danjuma is Villarreal's top scorer in the competition this season and the former Bournemouth striker is available at 6/1 (7.00).

Villarreal vs Liverpool preview

The difference in quality between the two sides last week was evident, with Liverpool preventing Villarreal from executing any part of their gameplan.

The Reds should have scored more than the two goals they managed and, if they are more clinical on Tuesday, they will surely be able to qualify for the final without too many problems.

Klopp's side have been superb on the road in the competition this season, winning all five of their matches away from Anfield and scoring at least twice in every game.

Backing them to continue that run when they visit the east of Spain should be an appealing option.
