Jurgen Klopp makes surprise change for Europa League showdown with Villarreal

Kevin McGillicuddy

Jurgen Klopp has a terrible record in Spain.

Played five, won none, and drawn three, as well as two losses, does not make for good reading ahead of tonight’s clash with Villarreal.

However, in a bid to gain his first win in the Mediterranean, the German has named a strong as possible starting XI for tonight’s Europa league encounter.

As expected, Klopp has made several changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Newcastle last weekend with the biggest surprise no starting place for Daniel Sturridge.

The England striker scored against the magpies on Saturday, but Roberto Firmino is preferred up front.
