Liverpool vs Sparta. Predicted line-ups and latest news

Tomorrow, on March 14th, Liverpool will play against Sparta Prague in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 at Anfield. As a reminder, the first leg ended with a victory for Jürgen Klopp's team with a score of 5:1. Dailysports has prepared the latest updates on the match, as well as the expected lineups for both teams.

Undoubtedly, for Liverpool, this game will resemble more of a friendly encounter. It is unlikely that Sparta will be able to recover from a 1:5 defeat, even against a highly experimental lineup of the Merseyside team.

However, Jürgen Klopp is still compelled to field a suboptimal lineup due to the ongoing injury crisis in the team. Liverpool is still unable to rely on Diogo Jota, Joel Matip, Thiago Alcântara, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones, Stefan Bajcetic, and Alisson.

It is expected that from the youth squad, central midfielder Bobby Clarke and forward Lewis Koumas will start.

As for Sparta, in comparison to the first leg, they only have one significant absence. Their main central defender, Asger Sorensen, will definitely miss the game.

Possible Liverpool line-up

• Kelleher – Bradley, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas – MacAllister, Clark, Szoboszlai – Elliott, Gakpo, Koumas

Possible Sparta line-up

• Jensen – Preciado, Vitik, Panek, Krejci, Zeleny – Kairinen, Solbakken, Birmancevic, Haraslin – Kuchta

The match will kick off at 21:00 Central European Time.
