The prize for Europa League glory has never been greater with a place in next season's Champions League at stake.

For Everton or Liverpool, it would feel like finishing in the Premier League's top four except there's the small added bonus of a large, shiny European cup to keep in their trophy cabinet.

The knockout stages kick-off this evening with an unmissable double header.

Join Matt Smith and co. for Young Boys v Everton from 5.30pm, as the Toffees look to continue their impressive European campaign in Switzerland.

In a swift turnaround, it's then over to ITV at 7.45pm for live coverage of Liverpool v Besiktas, where the Reds welcome back last season's Premier League nemesis, Demba Ba.

The former Chelsea striker effectively ended Liverpool's title hopes in April 2014, and returns with his new side threatening to put a dent in their hopes of European glory.
