Seeing Liverpool at this stage is no surprise; they reached the final in both 2018 and 2019 and are red-hot form in all competitions this season. But Villarreal's presence is a shock. The current holders of the Europa League have only been this far once before, in 2006, and are only seventh in La Liga.
But Jürgen Klopp's men would do well not to write them off. Villarreal have plenty of quality and have beaten Juventus and Bayern Munich to reach the last four. They'll certainly feel they can go one step further here.
They will have to do so without star striker Gerard Moreno though, for the first leg at least, while former Liverpool left-back Alberto Moreno will also be missing. Francis Coquelin is fit to play, though.
Liverpool's only injury major absence is Roberto Firmino, but with Mo Salah, Sadio Mané and Luis Diaz up front, and Diogo Jota among the subs, the Reds should be able to cope.
Here's how they line up:
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk,Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Mane, Diaz.
Villarreal: Rulli, Foyth, Albiol, Torres, Estupinan, Chukwueze, Parejo, Capoue, Coquelin, Lo Celso, Danjuma.
This should be an entertaining, open tie in the Champions League, though whether it matches yesterday's thrilling Man City vs Real Madrid game is another matter. Either way, you can read on to find out how to watch the Liverpool vs Villarreal live stream.
