The expert knows Liverpool received a tally from Sadio Mane and an own goal in last week's win against Villarreal to move one step closer to its third appearance in the Champions League final in five years. The Reds are riding a five-game winning streak across all competitions and have posted four consecutive clean sheets since recording a 3-2 victory against Manchester City in the semifinals of the FA Cup on April 16. Mohamed Salah has scored a team-high eight Champions League goals for Liverpool, which has posted 10 wins and two draws across all competitions since suffering a 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the second leg of their matchup in the Round of 16.
Sutton also is aware that Villarreal followed last Wednesday's loss to Liverpool with a 2-1 setback against Alaves on Saturday in La Liga action. Nigerian midfielder Samu Chukwueze scored the lone goal for the Yellow Submarine, giving him seven across all competitions this season. Villarreal has allowed fewer than three goals in 29 consecutive matches, yielding a pair only seven times in that span, and is led offensively by Arnaut Danjuma, who leads the club with six goals during Champions League play and has scored 16 overall in 2021-22.
