The Liverpool squad have landed in Basel tonight ahead of Wednesday night’s huge Europa League final against holders Sevilla.

The Merseysiders booked their place in the Europa League final with a relatively comfortable 3-1 aggregate victory over Villarreal in the semi-finals.

Sevilla on the other hand are vying to become the first club to ever win three successive Europa League’s after booking their place in the final with a win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

The two clubs will now face-off in the final in Basel on Wednesday night and Liverpool arrived in Switzerland earlier this evening to begin their pre-match preparations.

Jordan Henderson was among the travelling party after recovering from a knee injury and is now in contention to start after coming off the bench to play the final 30 minutes against West Brom at the weekend.

Jurgen Klopp fielded a weakened side for the Reds final Premier League game of the season at the Hawthorns on Sunday so the players should be well-rested as they look to win their first major trophy since 2012.

Here is a video and some photos of the squad arriving in Basel:
