Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Villarreal could line up for Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg with Liverpool.

Villarreal manager Unai Emery has a number of attacking injury concerns to work around for Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg with Liverpool at La Ceramica.

Seeking to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg, Emery has doubts over the availability of Gerard Moreno and Arnaut Danjuma, while Yeremi Pino is still absent.

Ex-Liverpool man Alberto Moreno is sure to miss out with his cruciate ligament injury, but Emery will hope to have Raul Albiol and Francis Coquelin back at his disposal for the second leg.

Geronimo Rulli did not cover himself in glory during the first leg and was dropped for Sergio Asenjo at the weekend, but the Argentine will still expect to return here.

Pau Torres was taken off at half time in a tactical move from Emery against Alaves, and the Spaniard should join compatriot Albiol in the backline, assuming that the veteran is fit enough.

Serge Aurier and Alfonso Pedraza should drop out to allow Juan Foyth and Pervis Estupinan to occupy the full-back areas, while Etienne Capoue returns in the middle alongside Coquelin and Dani Parejo.

Should Moreno and Danjuma not be considered fit enough for starts this week, Boulaye Dia, Samuel Chukwueze and Giovani Lo Celso will attempt to post at least one shot on target, which Villarreal failed to achieve in the first leg.

Villarreal possible starting lineup: Rulli; Foyth, Albiol, Torres, Estupinan; Capoue, Coquelin, Parejo; Lo Celso; Chukwueze, Dia
