After the setback at Old Trafford, if the 2-2 draw in Manchester against United can be characterized in such a way, it led to Liverpool losing their lead in the Premier League. A hellish finish to the season awaits the Reds, a battle on two fronts. In the Europa League, Jurgen Klopp’s team has been the favorite since the start of the competition.The Premier League is imperative, but once you reach the quarter-finals, then the trophy is in sight. The rival for the semi-finals is Atalanta, which in the previous round was better than Sporting Lisbon. Liverpool overcame Sparta Prague in the round of 16 with a total score of 11-2. The first match is played tonight (10.00 PM EAT) at Anfield and there is no question as to who is closer to the next stage. The team of the German specialist has scored 11 goals in the last three matches in front of their fans.As the end of the season approaches, there is a much better personnel situation in the ranks of the English great. Klopp did not rule out the possibility that Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker could step on the pitch. All three have been out of action since February, they returned to training. And Stefan Bajčetić, who has not been on the field since September, has started training, but he will have to wait a little longer for playing minutes.🇩🇪Jurgen #Klopp on tonight’s Europa League Quarter-Final against #Atalanta:🗣️“This, of course, is what we are in it for. The whole idea is that it should be a test and our own idea is that we should relish these tests.

The Anfield team increased the prices of season tickets by two percent. This was met with condemnation, so there will be no flags in their famous pit—the Kop.Apart from the end of the season and the fight for the trophy in the Premier League and European Cups, there is still speculation on the Island about who will take over the helm in June after the departure of Klopp. Portuguese Sporting coach Ruben Amorim has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Liverpool. Also, first team star Mohamed Salah is at the club’s exit door and could move to Saudi Arabia.Cody Gakpo of the Netherlands is expected to replace the tired Uruguayan Darwin Nunez in the starting line-up. Salah and Colombian Luis Diaz will be with the Dutchman up front. Only Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara are out.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The Goddess of the Province travels to Anfield without Giorgio Scalvani, who will be out for at least a month due to a muscle injury. The Argentinian Palomino was injured earlier. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini confirmed that Juan Musso will be in goal. The most prominent player in the team will be Gianluca Scamacca, last season’s West Ham player. The Belgian Charles Ketelaere is not 100 percent ready yet and there is little chance that he will play in Liverpool. Russian Alexey Miranchuk should support Scamacca in the attack.The red and blue have not been doing well this month. They were defeated in the first match of the Italian Cup semi-finals by Fiorentina in Florence (0-1), while at the weekend, they unexpectedly succumbed in Sardinia to Cagliari (1-2). The Goddess is further away from the place that leads in next season’s Champions League from Serie A, but winning this competition is the alternative route to the ‘Euro elite’.These teams played in the group stage of the Champions League in the 2020/2021 season. Liverpool won both matches without conceding a goal. At home it was 2-0, while in Bergamo it was 5-0.UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE – QUARTER-FINALSFirst legThursday22:00: (1.90) Milan (3.60) Roma (4.50)22:00: (1.37) Liverpool (5.60) Atalanta (8.50)22:00: (1.47) Leverkusen (4.40) West Ham (6.75)22:00: (1.90) Benfica (3.60) Olympique Marseille (4.50)***odds are subject to change***
