Europa League Odds: Liverpool even-money favourites to conquer Europe ahead of Atalanta quarter-final

Liverpool are the even-money favourites to win the 2023/24 Europa League after being drawn against Atalanta in the quarter-finals of this season's competition.

It's as favourable a draw as Jurgen Klopp could have hoped for as the esteemed German boss bids to sign off from his Anfield tenure in the most remarkable fashion by completing an unprecedented quadruple.

The Reds brushed aside Sparta Prague in comprehensive fashion in the last 16, whilst Serie A side Atalanta edged a five-goal two-legged affair with Sporting Lisbon to keep their own continental hopes alive.

The Italians are 20/1 to upset Liverpool (1/1) and go the full distance in the Europa League - the same price as French side Marseille who tackle Portuguese giants Benfica in the last eight.

West Ham United are 14/1 to back up their Europa Conference League success 12 months ago with the more coveted Europa League crown this season, although they couldn't have been handed a more tricky quarter-final draw after being paired with Bundesliga pace-setters Bayer Leverkusen.

Xabi Alonso's men are the 7/2 second-favourites to lift the Europa League trophy in May after extending their remarkable unbeaten run in all competitions this season to 37, with a dramatic and tense last-gasp victory over FK Qarabag on Thursday.

Patrik Schick netted twice in stoppage time to break the hearts of the Azerbaijani side who looked set to stun Alonso's men and inflict a first defeat upon the Germans in 10 months.

Meanwhile, Italian sides AC Milan and Roma will meet in another intriguing last eight showdown with Stefano Piolo's side 6/1 to add the Europa League to their extensive honours list, and Roma priced up identically to West Ham at 14/1.

Should Liverpool and the Hammers - the two Premier League representatives left in the competition following Brighton's elimination - progress, then it would leave open the possibility of an all-English affair in the final.

Liverpool would tackle the winner of the AC Mila v Roma showdown in the last four, whilst David Moyes' side's reward for a potential success over Bayer Leverkusen would be a semi-final showdown with either Benfica or Marseille.

Klopp's troops are 4/7 to make a 16th European final, whilst West Ham are 4/1 to reach back-to-back continental finals.
