Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher insists his side have the advantage over Sparta Prague following the 0-0 draw in the first leg of their Europa League tie in the Czech Republic.

The stand-in Reds captain believes his side are in pole position ahead of the second leg at Anfield next week despite not getting an away goal.

He told Five: "A goalless draw away from home is always a decent result but you would like the away goal of course.

"But it is advantage us. We just have to make sure they don't get the away goal now."

Kenny Dalglish took charge of his first European game as Liverpool manager nd despite the stalemate, Carragher is not worried by the lack of goals.

He added: "The last few weeks we have been winning games and scoring goals, but tonight we haven't done that.

"In Europe it is a slightly different game, especially with two legs but we are quite pleased with a 0-0 draw."

Liverpool, who were without the injured Steven Gerrard, Daniel Agger, Andy Carroll and the cup-tied Luis Suarez, will now fancy their chances of getting a positive result at Anfield.

Carragher continued: "The manager changed a few players around so it was a good experience for a few players.

"But now we just have to make sure we do the job at Anfield."
