20:00 Thursday

The first leg of the Europa League quarter-final is set to take place tonight at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool take on Italian side Atalanta. Liverpool will be hoping to continue their momentum in this competition after putting 11 goals past Sparta Prague in the round of 16.

Atalanta will look to build on their elimination of Sporting Lisbon, the side led by Klopp’s expected successor, Ruben Amorim.

With both sides playing fast paced attacking football, it should be a fantastic watch.

Liverpool vs Atalanta Prediction

  • Liverpool were held to a draw at Old Trafford on Sunday and sit second in the Premier League after Arsenal's victory at the weekend.
  • The Reds were beaten 2-0 when these sides last met at Anfield in November 2020. They did, however, win 5-0 in the reverse fixture in Italy.
  • Atalanta head into this quarter-final clash off the back of successive away defeats to Fiorentina and Cagliari.
  • Gian Piero Gasperini's side progressed past Sporting in the previous round, but will certainly face a much sterner test here.
