Is Liverpool v Sparta Prague on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Europa League fixture tonight
Liverpool built a commanding lead in Prague as they look to reach the quarter-finals
Liverpool host Sparta Prague in the Europa League last-16 tonight as the Reds take a four-goal lead back to Anfield following an inspired display from Darwin Nunez last time out.
The Uruguay striker scored two spectacular goals before half time as Jurgen Klopp’s side raced to a 5-1 victory in Prague and put one foot in Friday’s quarter-final draw.
Liverpool will look to finish the job tonight, while Klopp may look to rotate his team as the Reds continue to battle on multiple fronts this season.
Klopp’s side battled to a 1-1 draw in a whirlwind clash with Manchester City in the Premier League last weekend and will travel to Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday.

What is the Liverpool team news?
Ibrahima Konate missed the match against Manchester City after picking up an injury in the first leg in Prague and is unlikely to be risked.
