Jurgen Klopp's Reds will be out to prevent the Liga
side from lifting the trophy for a remarkable third successive season
when the two sides clash at St Jakob-Park on May 18
The Reds overturned their first leg deficit thanks to an own goal by Bruno Soriano before strikes by Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge secured a 3-1 aggregate win.
Sevilla, meanwhile, are into a third successive Europa League final after seeing off Shakhtar Donetsk at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Unai Emery's men won 3-1 on the night, sealing a 5-3 aggregate win, with Kevin Gameiro scoring twice and Mariano thumping home a third.
Sevilla have won the last two finals beating Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in Warsaw last year and Benfica in Turin in 2014 and are the first team to reach three consecutive European finals since Juventus (1995-1998).
Liverpool, meanwhile, are only the third English team to reach a Europa League final, after Fulham and Chelsea. They have a good record against Spanish teams in finals having beaten Real Madrid in the 1981 European Cup final and Alaves in the 2001 Uefa Cup final.
