Klopp’s successful strategy in Prague allows for possible rotation in the upcoming Anfield match, particularly with an FA Cup quarter-final soon after. Klopp aims for a straightforward win, possibly less dramatic than the first leg but still effective.
Liverpool boasts an impressive eight-game unbeaten streak, scoring 22 goals and conceding just five. Their record at Anfield is especially formidable, with a perfect record in the Europa League group stage and two clean sheets in three matches.
Klopp has no new injury concerns but might adjust the lineup used against Manchester City. Ibrahima Konate is unlikely to feature due to injury, and Mohamed Salah may start on the bench again.
Sparta Prague is in a slump, winless in three matches with a recent scoring drought. Filip Panák’s return boosts their lineup, but Asger Sørensen’s availability is uncertain.
With their substantial aggregate lead, Liverpool is almost assured a place in the quarterfinals, continuing their strong form this season.
