Emre Can starts for Liverpool in tonight’s Europa League semi-final, second-leg showdown with Villarreal at Anfield.

The German midfielder makes his first appearance since sustaining an ankle injury against Borussia Dortmund on April 14 having resumed training.

Elsewhere, Daniel Sturridge spearheads the Reds’ attack, supported by Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino, as Jürgen Klopp makes seven changes to the team deployed against Swansea City on Sunday.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Lovren, Moreno, Can, Milner, Lallana, Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge. Subs: Ward, Benteke, Lucas, Allen, Skrtel, Ibe, Smith.
