Liverpool warned ex-Everton youngster and £35m flop could ruin dream Jurgen Klopp finale

Ademola Lookman and Gianluca Scamacca will pose a threat to Liverpool’s defence in the UEFA Europa League quarter-final on Thursday evening.

The Reds face the Italians in the first of two legs this week and will hope to put the tie to bed as early as possible.

However, the visitors have previously had success on Merseyside, defeating Klopp’s Liverpool at Anfield by two goals to nil in 2020. Although, Liverpool won 0-5 in Bergamo in the corresponding fixture, thanks to a Diogo Jota hat-trick.

They also put Everton to the sword in 2017, coming away with a 1-5 victory at Goodison Park.

“If you look at the other game a few years back, we actually got beat 0-5 at home. We have that knowledge of getting a result at Anfield, but the circumstances were different. It is intriguing, let’s be honest, I’ve seen Liverpool put three or four goals past teams at Anfield in a very short space of time. It’s not impossible that the tie is out of reach after 30 or 40 minutes. If we lost 1-0 at Anfield and went back to Italy still in the game, I’d be really happy with that.”
