Liverpool fans will be looking forward to their first away game against Sparta Prague since February 11, 2011.
The name of the stadium has changed since 2011, when it was called the Generali Arena. It is now known as the epet ARENA due to sponsorship reasons.
Sparta Prague will prove to be a tough test for Liverpool, as they came back to beat Galatasaray 6-4 on aggregate in the UEFA Europa League play-off round.
