Atalanta vs Liverpool: Preview, predictions and lineups

Liverpool have the chance to produce a historic comeback on Thursday evening when the travel to Atalanta in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final.

The Reds suffered a shock 3-0 defeat at Anfield in the first leg as Gian Piero Gasperini's side put them to the sword, leaving their dreams of a first Europa League title under Jurgen Klopp hanging by the smallest of threads. The Merseyside club will need to win by three clear goals in Bergamo to simply force extra-time, with their recent form suggesting that a recovery is unlikely.

Liverpool dropped to third in the Premier League table last Sunday after a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in which their profligacy proved costly once again. As a result, their hopes of adding to their Carabao Cup come the end of the season have taken a significant hit.

Atalanta will feel confident heading into the second leg after a devastating display at Anfield, but they did surrender a two-goal lead within the space of four minutes in their recent 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona. A glimmer of hope perhaps for Liverpool.
