MATCH PRESS KIT

Match background Liverpool FC host Czech opposition for just the second time as AC Sparta Praha visit in the UEFA Europa League round of 32, with honours even following a goalless draw in Prague last week. • Despite the game efforts of right-backs Ondřej Kušnír and Glen Johnson to inject spark up the flanks, neither goalkeeper was frequently tested in the first leg. Sparta and Liverpool appeared to be coming to terms to life without departed spearheads Wilfried Bony and Fernando Torres, but nevertheless both remain in contention. Previous meetings • This is the clubs' first tie in European competition. • Liverpool's only previous experience of Czech opposition came in the second round of the 2000/01 UEFA Cup, where they beat FC Slovan Liberec 1-0 at Anfield and 3-2 away. • Sparta's record against English sides reads W3 D3 L9. They have now not won – or scored a goal – in their last six home games against English sides since beating Watford FC 4-0 in a UEFA Cup tie on 7 December 1983. Current Sparta coach Jozef Chovanec scored the opener in that match. • Their record in England is W1 D1 L5. They are without a win in five games on English soil since beating Watford 3-2 on 23 November 1983; a match which also featured Chovanec. Ominously, Sparta have lost their last three games in England by three-goal margins. Match background • Liverpool are unbeaten in nine European games at Anfield since losing 2-1 to ACF Fiorentina in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Liverpool have not lost in six European away games this season, but four of those fixtures ended in draws. • Sparta are unbeaten in their last four European home games, but drew three of those. Prior to the first leg, they had failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four continental fixtures at the Letná Stadium. • This is Sparta's first appearance in the spring phase of a UEFA club competition since they reached the UEFA Champions League round of 16 in 2003/04, losing out to AC Milan. • Sparta last won a springtime European game when they beat FC Porto 2-0 in the second group stage of the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League. Team facts • FC Porto's Falcao remains the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League's top scorer with seven goals. PFC CSKA Moskva's Tomáš Necid is his nearest rival on six goals. Sevilla FC's Frédéric Kanouté and KKS Lech Poznań's Artjoms Rudņevs joined former Sparta striker Bony, Giuseppi Rossi of Villarreal CF, FC Dynamo Kyiv's Artem Milevskiy and SSC Napoli's Edinson Cavani on five goals with strikes in the first legs of the round of 32 ties. • Liverpool defender Sotiris Kyrgiakos played for Panathinaikos FC as they won 2-0 against Sparta in Prague and 2-1 at home in the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League second group stage. • Liverpool have fielded some notable Czech talents in the past; Vladimír Šmicer, Milan Baroš and former Sparta winger Patrik Berger. • Sparta's Erich Brabec celebrates his 34th birthday on the day of the Liverpool game. • Kenny Dalglish, who has been made Liverpool manager until the end of the season following the departure of Roy Hodgson on 8 January, will be taking charge of his first European home game as Reds coach. He had a six-year spell at the Anfield helm between 1985 and 1991 which reaped three English league titles. As a Liverpool player, he won the European Champion Clubs' Cup on three occasions. • Sparta defender Tomáš Řepka knows English football well, having played for West Ham United FC from 2001 to 2006. 'Super Tom' would not remember his four games against Liverpool fondly, though; his side drew one of them (1-1 at home) and lost the other three. • Sparta's Marek Matějovský was an unused substitute as Reading FC eliminated Liverpool from the 2009 FA Cup third round with a 2-1 win after extra time in a replay. • The overall winners will take on the victors in the tie between KKS Lech Poznań and SC Braga in the round of 16 on 10 and 17 March, playing the first leg at home.

MATCH PRESS KIT

Head coach Liverpool FC: Kenny Dalglish Date of birth: 4 March 1951 Nationality: Scottish Playing career: Celtic FC, Liverpool FC Coaching career: Liverpool FC (twice), Blackburn Rovers FC, Newcastle United FC, Celtic FC • Scotland's most capped player with 102 international appearances, the striker started his career with four league titles and four Scottish Cups at Celtic from 1971 to 1977, leaving for Liverpool for a then British record £440,000 following a spell as the Hoops' captain. • Set a sizeable task in replacing Kop favourite Kevin Keegan, Dalglish succeeded effortlessly; scored the winner in the 1977/78 European Champion Clubs' Cup final against Club Brugge KV and as a player, went on to win two further European Cups, five league titles and four League Cups. • Appointed player-manager in 1985 and led Liverpool to their first domestic double in his first season; further successes followed in 1988 and 1990, but Dalglish unexpectedly resigned in early 1991. • Made a shock return to management with Blackburn that October, winning promotion to the Premier League and then title success in 1994/95; became the club's sporting director, but following spells at Newcastle and Celtic, his management career seemed to be over. • Having turned down a number of jobs was persuaded to rejoin Liverpool as an academy coach by Rafael Benítez in July 2009; helped hire Roy Hodgson as the Spaniard's successor in summer 2010, then took over on temporary basis following Hodgson's departure in January 2011.

AC Sparta Praha: Jozef Chovanec Date of birth: 7 March 1960 Nationality: Czech Playing career: RH Cheb, AC Sparta Praha (twice), PSV Eindhoven Coaching career: AC Sparta Praha (three times), Czech Republic, 1. FK Příbram, FC Kubaň Krasnodar • Born in north-west Slovakia, Chovanec made his name in the Czech capital with Sparta and won eight league titles and three Czechoslovakian Cups, most as captain. Holding midfielder who later dropped back to central defence, he won 52 caps for Czechoslovakia and was the country's player of the year in 1986. • After moving to the Netherlands in 1989, won two Eredivisie titles and one Dutch Cup with PSV, but never cemented a first-team place; returned home to Sparta in 1991, retiring in 1995 after winning the first two titles in the newly independent Czech Republic, the last as player-coach. • Reappointed as Sparta coach in 1996, he left to take charge of the national team a year later; three times Czech coach of the year, his side reached UEFA EURO 2000 without dropping a point but failed to get out of group at the final tournament. • Resigned in November 2001 after missing out on 2002 FIFA World Cup, returning to club football with Příbram and then Russian side Kuban. • Welcomed back at Sparta in 2006, initially as chairman, he served as president, general manager and caretaker coach before returning to dug-out on a permanent basis in October 2008; won the 2009/10 title, his second as club's coach.
