The Villans go into this match knowing that a victory would seal their place in next year’s Champions League.

Unai Emery’s men are four points ahead of Tottenham with two days remaining in the race for a place among the UEFA elite.

It would be a much-needed boost for Villa after the disappointment of their elimination from the Europa Conference League last week.

The Reds have already secured third place and the Champions League will be played at Anfield next year as Jurgen Klopp enters his final week as Liverpool boss.
