The Reds have nothing to fear as they conquered two big games in back-to-back weeks as they annihilated Manchester United before seeing off Everton this week. 

Klopp's men are on a mission to win the historic quadruple, and seeing Liverpool's current form, it would not be doubtful to see them achieve this milestone.  

Villarreal are underdogs and illustrated in their last Champions League clash what they are capable of, Unai Emery and Klopp are old foes, and Emery holds a slight edge over Klopp. This will be an energy-sapping meeting for Emery's men, who will need to step up to the plate.

Liverpool vs Villarreal: Head-to-Head Prediction 

This could be a one-sided affair, but the Reds shouldn't take Villarreal loosely, who can conjure from any chances. But the Yellow Submarine will have to get under the skin of Liverpool to get something out of nothing. 

Klopp knows Villarreal has a solid pedigree, and he will make his men aware of the fact that the Spanish giants can capitalize on the smallest of mistakes, but the Reds can soak up any type of pressure and knows how to get their business done. 

Score Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Villarreal
