Liverpool welcome Aston Villa to Anfield this afternoon as the newly crowned Premier League champions seek to recover from their resounding defeat by dethroned Manchester City.

Jurgen Klopp’s men suffered just their second league loss of the term on Thursday when Pep Guardiola’s players put four unanswered goals past the Reds, and Liverpool will be determined to ensure their standards don’t slip as they continue their pursuit of City’s Premier League points record.

They will fancy their chances of correcting their course against Villa, who are 18th in the table and without a win since the top flight returned last month.

In their last game, Dean Smith’s men came up short against Wolves, losing 1-0 at home. They are only one point from safety, though, and will be motivated to upset the newly crowned champions today.
