Previous meetings • The sides are meeting for the first time in UEFA club competition, though they did play a pre-season friendly in 2008, drawing 0-0 at El Madrigal. • Villarreal's record in 13 UEFA games against English sides is W3 D6 L4 (W2 D4 L1 at home – W1 D2 L3 in England). They are without a victory in their last ten meetings with Premier League opponents having won all the first three. • Liverpool's 32 UEFA games against Spanish sides have ended W13 D10 L9 (W4 D6 L5 at Anfield – W7 D4 L4 in Spain). Those games include two final victories on neutral territory: 1-0 against Real Madrid CF in the 1981 European Champion Clubs' Cup final and 5-4 (after extra time) against Deportivo Alavés in the 2001 UEFA Cup final. Form guide • Villarreal are now unbeaten in 11 UEFA Europa League fixtures (W8 D3), and have won all six of their home games in this season's competition, conceding only once in the process. • Liverpool are the only club to make it from the start of the group stage to matchday 12 unbeaten, with five victories and seven draws – more than any other side in the 2015/16 tournament. Their away record this season is W1 D5. • The Reds are the first team to have gone 12 games unbeaten in a single UEFA Europa League campaign, group stage to final, though Club Atlético de Madrid went 15 matches without defeat across two editions of the UEFA Europa League from November 2011 to October 2012. Villarreal will match their record if they beat Liverpool at El Madrigal. • 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. • 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 got to the semi-finals in 2009/10, losing to Club Atlético de Madrid. Links and trivia • The journey from Liverpool to Villarreal is just shy of 950km.
