    This game hasn't been a 4-1 but it just underlines the quality Liverpool have.

    Ajax 0-0 Aston Villa

    As I write that, Ajax have their best chance of the game but Kenneth Taylor's first-time effort from 14 yards is saved by a diving Emilano Martinez.

    Ajax 0-0 Aston Villa

    It's 2-2 on shots, only Moussa Diaby has forced a save. No efforts in the second half. Not a classic.

    Sparta Prague 1-4 Liverpool

    Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo is through on the keeper but his shot is saved by Peter Vindahl.

    Sparta Prague 1-4 Liverpool

    Liverpool have now scored 21 goals in the Europa League this season, one more than any other team in the competition.

    It's the most the Reds have scored in a single Europa League campaign since the 2009-10 rebrand.

    Roma 2-0 Brighton

    Brighton are still creating chances, again with Simon Adingra at the heart of it. He runs at the Roma defence, slides a pass to Danny Welbeck, who takes a touch to set himself but then fires over with the left foot.

    De Zerbi will be disappointed if his side don't get on the scoresheet tonight.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 19:03 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Ajax 0-0 Aston Villa

    Villa bring on big guns John McGinn and Leon Bailey. Moussa Diaby and Morgan Rogers come off.

    Lucas Digne hands the armband to McGinn.

    Roma 2-0 Brighton

    Danny Welbeck looks to go around the outside of his man but puts too much on the cross and fizzes it out of play.

  13. Postpublished at 18:59 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Roma 2-0 Brighton

    Simon Adingra is again the out ball for Brighton and again the threat on the left. He cuts inside on to his right foot and tries to curl a shot into the far post from inside the penalty area, but Mile Svilar has his angles spot on and is able to fall on the ball.

    Sparta Prague 1-4 Liverpool

    Cheeky. Sparta's Angelo Preciado tries to catch Caoimhin Kelleher out from 50 yards but it's tipped over by the Liverpool keeper.

  15. Postpublished at 18:58 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Sparta Prague 1-4 Liverpool

    Two assists for Harvey Elliott tonight but I cannot imagine Fantasy Europa League is a thing.

    GOAL - Sparta Prague 1-4 Liverpoolpublished at 18:57 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Luis Diaz (53 mins)

    Tie over (again).

    Conor Bradley runs down the right and finds Harvey Elliott. He picks out Luis Diaz, whose shot is deflected and beats the wrongfooted goalkeeper.

    Roma 2-0 Brighton

    Nearly a third for Roma. Romelu Lukaku nearly gets his second of the night. He meets a cross, heads it down and Jason Steele manages to keep it out from close range.

    A third goal for the Italians would leave Brighton with a huge, huge task at the Amex next Thursday.

    Sparta Prague 1-3 Liverpool

    Conor Bradley is the second Liverpool player to score an own goal in the Europa League and the first since Sebastian Coates against Udinese in October 2012.

  19. Postpublished at 18:55 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Ajax 0-0 Aston Villa

    Bright start to the second half for Villa but no chances. Douglas Luiz has a free-kick cleared and Morgan Rogers fails to get a shot away.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:54 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Sparta Prague 1-3 Liverpool

    A strange one. Darwin Nunez is replaced by Dominik Szoboszlai so there will be no hat-trick for the Liverpool striker.
