Despite Villarreal's best defensive efforts at Anfield, Unai Emery's charges are facing an uphill battle in Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Liverpool, with the Spanish side trailing 2-0.
The abolition of the away goals rule gives Villarreal some hope, as they only need to win 2-0 in order to force extra time, despite how difficult it may be to envisage this Liverpool side conceding two goals in a single match to any opponent other than Manchester City.
Roberto Firmino missed the weekend trip to Newcastle United and is still facing a run against time in order to proof his fitness after a minor foot injury.
Jurgen Klopp has no such other fitness worries and will instead perhaps look to rest some players for the Premier League run-in, as the Reds battle to win a famous quadruple.
Alberto Moreno is the one long-term absence for Villarreal ahead of Tuesday's match, while star forward Gerard Moreno remains a doubt after missing the first leg last week.
