Life must seem pretty swell if you're a Liverpool fan. A place in the Europa League semi-finals, a free team scoring freely, and just one defeat in their last seven league games, scoring 20 goals in the process. There's still a big question mark over the defence, though, and they're just eighth in the league, but let's focus on the positives. 

It is a beautiful, sunny Sunday after all.

Perhaps Jurgen Klopp and co could do with cooling down after Thursday night's drama.

Conor McNamara: "It has been such an outrageous season - the latest fairytale being Liverpool's euphoric win on Thursday - that Bournemouth's achievements are being grossly overlooked.

"Eddie Howe's team are in the running for a top-half finish in their first top-flight campaign.

"Eight goals in the last two games shows Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool attack is clicking, but even the most ardent fan will admit his defence needs work.

"Top four remains mathematically possible for Liverpool but winning the Europa League - while not easy - now looks a more viable route into the Champions League.

"After the first leg in Dortmund, Klopp made seven changes against Stoke and I'd expect him to do similar here."

Klopp has obviously not been to Barry yet. He'll have time during the summer break. A magnificent-looking new log flume. , externalAnyway, back to the football...

One player who will be absent this afternoon is Emre Can after the 22-year-old midfielder suffered an ankle injury against Dortmund and will be out for four weeks. 

The German promised "I will be back soon" on Instagram., external But soon might not be soon enough for a Reds midfield which is already without injured captain Jordan Henderson for the rest of the season. 

Stand by for team news. 

How to follow one of the great European nights, a match which had it all? 

Liverpool achieved a remarkable comeback against Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night to reach the Europa League semi-finals.
