Liverpool travel to Bergamo for their UEFA Europa League Quarter-finals second leg clash against Atalanta during the midweek.
They will be looking to salvage some pride after a series of poor performances.

Atalanta won the first leg at Anfield 3-0 and they have one foot in the semi-finals of the competition. Liverpool will need a miracle to overturn the deficit in current form.
