Jurgen Klopp has a terrible record in Spain.

Played five, won none, and drawn three, as well as two losses, does not make for good reading ahead of Thursday night's clash with Villarreal. However, in a bid to gain his first win in the Mediterranean, the German has named as strong a starting XI as possible for the first leg of the Europa League semi-final. As expected, Klopp has made several changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Newcastle last weekend with the biggest surprise no starting place for Daniel Sturridge. The England striker scored against the Magpies on Saturday, but Roberto Firmino is preferred up front. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/725743736366465024 https://twitter.com/LFC/status/725743831581376516 Kick off is at 8.05
