Thursday, April 29
Liverpool v Atlético Madrid
Anfield
Kick-off: 20.05 BST
TV: Five 19.30 BST

Touchline duel
Rafael Benítez v Quique Sanchez Flores: The Liverpool manager has much to prove over the man who regularly, in his role as a TV pundit, criticised the Valencia side he led to two La Liga titles.
Key battle
Steven Gerrard v Raul Garcia: The Liverpool captain has called for a night when heroes are made, but it is on these sorts of occasions that Gerrard must, and generally does, come to the fore.
Talking tactics
Expect Liverpool, as is their wont in these scenarios, to sit back for 20 minutes to allow Atlético to settle, and then to increase the pressure as nerves begin to fray.
Probable teams
Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Agger, Lucas, Mascherano; Babel, Gerrard, Benayoun; Ngog
Atlético Madrid (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Ujfalusi, Perea, Dominguez, Antonio, Lopez; Assuncao, Raul Garcia; Reyes, Aguero, Simao; Forlan
