Previous meetings • Adrián López’s added-time finish earned Villarreal a 1-0 win in the home leg, which was the sides' first competitive meeting. • The teams played a pre-season friendly in 2008, drawing 0-0 at El Madrigal. • Liverpool's 33 UEFA games against Spanish opposition have ended W13 D10 L10 (W4 D6 L5 at Anfield – W7 D4 L5 in Spain). Those matches include two final victories on neutral territory: 1-0 against Real Madrid CF in the 1981 European Champion Clubs' Cup and 5-4 after extra time against Deportivo Alavés in the 2001 UEFA Cup. • Villarreal's record in 14 UEFA fixtures against English clubs reads W4 D6 L4 (W3 D4 L1 at home – W1 D2 L3 in England). They were without a victory in their last ten encounters with Premier League opponents going into the first leg of this tie. Form guide • Liverpool were the only side to make it from the start of the group stage to matchday 12 unbeaten; however, following the first leg, it is Villarreal who are now 12 games without defeat. • Liverpool lost to Beşiktaş JK on penalties in last year's round of 32 and to FC Zenit at the same stage of their previous UEFA Europa League adventure, in 2012/13. The 1973, 1976 and 2001 UEFA Cup winners last contested the semi-finals in 2009/10, succumbing to Club Atlético de Madrid. • Villarreal's best previous campaigns in the competition ended in the semi-finals, where they were twice eliminated by eventual winners – Valencia CF in 2003/04 and FC Porto in 2010/11. Links and trivia • The journey from Villarreal to Liverpool is just shy of 950km. • Villarreal's Cédric Bakambu has scored nine in this season's competition, leaving him second in the UEFA Europa League scoring chart behind Athletic Club's ten-goal Aritz Aduriz.
