Joe Allen "confident" Liverpool will reach Europa League final

Joe Allen is confident that Liverpool will overcome their 1-0 deficit to beat Villarreal and reach the Europa League final.

Joe Allen has insisted that Liverpool have enough quality to beat Villarreal and reach the final of the Europa League.

Jurgen Klopp's side are trailing 1-0 in the semi-final tie after Adrian Lopez scored in the 92nd minute at El Madrigal in the first leg.

The Merseyside outfit will welcome Villarreal to Anfield on Thursday knowing that they must score at least two goals to progress.

"Villarreal will have their work cut out," Allen told UEFA.com. "There was an extremely fine line between us imposing our gameplan in the first leg and getting a 1-0 win ourselves, and the way the match actually turned out.

"On another night we'd have won, which would have been ideal, but I'm confident that we've got enough to win this second leg and put them out."

Liverpool head into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Swansea City.
