Match backgroundVillarreal CF's mighty home record in this season's UEFA Europa League will be a major comfort as they come upagainst Liverpool FC in the semi-finals, with visiting coach Jürgen Klopp yet to win a UEFA game in Spain.

Previous meetings• The sides are meeting for the first time in UEFA club competition, though they did play a pre-season friendly in 2008,drawing 0-0 at El Madrigal.

• Villarreal's record in 13 UEFA games against English sides is W3 D6 L4 (W2 D4 L1 at home – W1 D2 L3 inEngland). They are without a victory in their last ten meetings with Premier League opponents having won all the firstthree.

• Liverpool's 32 UEFA games against Spanish sides have ended W13 D10 L9 (W4 D6 L5 at Anfield – W7 D4 L4 inSpain). Those games include two final victories on neutral territory: 1-0 against Real Madrid CF in the 1981 EuropeanChampion Clubs' Cup final and 5-4 (after extra time) against Deportivo Alavés in the 2001 UEFA Cup final.

Form guide• Villarreal are now unbeaten in 11 UEFA Europa League fixtures (W8 D3), and have won all six of their home gamesin this season's competition, conceding only once in the process.

• Liverpool are the only club to make it from the start of the group stage to matchday 12 unbeaten, with five victoriesand seven draws – more than any other side in the 2015/16 tournament. Their away record this season is W1 D5.

• The Reds are the first team to have gone 12 games unbeaten in a single UEFA Europa League campaign, groupstage to final, though Club Atlético de Madrid went 15 matches without defeat across two editions of the UEFA EuropaLeague from November 2011 to October 2012. Villarreal will match their record if they beat Liverpool at El Madrigal.

• Villarreal's best previous campaigns in the competition ended in the semi-finals, where they were twice eliminated byeventual winners – Valencia CF in 2003/04 and FC Porto in 2010/11.

• Liverpool lost to Beşiktaş JK on penalties in last year's round of 32 and to FC Zenit at the same stage of theirprevious UEFA Europa League adventure, in 2012/13. The 1973, 1976 and 2001 UEFA Cup winners last got to thesemi-finals in 2009/10, losing to Club Atlético de Madrid.

Links and trivia• The journey from Liverpool to Villarreal is just shy of 950km.

• With four goals in his last two games, Villarreal's Cédric Bakambu has moved on to nine for the season, leaving himsecond in the UEFA Europa League scoring charts behind Athletic Club's ten-goal Aritz Aduriz.

• Villarreal defender Víctor Ruiz and Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet are the only players left in the competitionwho have played in every minute of their sides' campaigns since the start of the group stage: 1,080 minutes in total.

• Villarreal's Samuel Castillejo remains the most fouled player in the 2015/16 competition, with 34 infringementsagainst him from the group stage onwards.

• Villarreal's Denis Suárez has laid on five goals in this season's competition, putting him top of the assists rankingsalong with Bořek Dočkal from eliminated AC Sparta Praha. Suárez was an unused substitute for Sevilla FC as theybeat FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in last season's UEFA Europa League final.

• Liverpool's José Enrique – who is not in their UEFA Europa League squad – played for Villarreal from 2006–07.

• Fellow Spaniard Alberto Moreno is registered to play in this competition; he played against Villarreal once during histime as a Sevilla player, a 0-0 home draw in May 2014.

• Villarreal's Antonio Rukavina played under Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund in 2008.

• Roberto Soldado faced Liverpool three times during his time in England with Tottenham Hotspur FC. His side lost 5-0 at home and 4-0 away to the Reds in 2013/14, and he featured again as his side lost 3-2 at Liverpool the followingseason.

• Villarreal right-back Mario Gaspar scored a terrific goal as Spain won 2-0 in a November 2015 friendly game againstEngland, who featured Liverpool's Adam Lallana. Reds team-mate Nathaniel Clyne was an unused substitute in thatgame in Alicante.

• Villarreal are now not just the UEFA Europa League's highest-scoring club, increasing their total to 82 with a 4-2 winat Sparta Praha, but have also registered the most victories in the competition – 26, one more than Benfica andSevilla.

• Of the semi-finalists, Villarreal are the only side who have never won this competition; Liverpool (1973, 1976 and6

2001), Sevilla FC (2006, 2007, 2014, 2015) and FC Shakhtar Donestk (2009) have eight wins between them.

As a coach, the 50-year-old worked his way up theSpanish leagues, culminating in spells with Real Zaragoza, Real Racing Club Santander and Sevilla. He took over atVillarreal in 2013, guiding them to promotion in his first campaign.

• Jürgen Klopp, 48, replaced Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool manager last October. His Dortmund side won theBundesliga in 2010/11, scooped a double the next campaign and lost to FC Bayern München in the 2013 UEFAChampions League final.
