Liverpool vs Aston Villa official line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture today
Liverpool host Aston Villa this afternoon as the new Premier League champions look to recover from their comprehensive loss against dethroned Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp’s team suffered just their second league defeat of the term on Thursday when Pep Guardiola’s side put four unanswered goals past the Reds, and Liverpool will be eager to ensure their standards don’t slip as they continue to chase City’s Premier League points record.
They will fancy their chances of getting back on track against Villa, who are 18th in the table and without a victory since the top flight returned last month.
In their last outing, Dean Smith’s men came up short against Wolves, losing 1-0 at home. They are only one point from safety, however, and will be motivated to upset the newly crowned champions today.
