Aston Villa vs Liverpool: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today
Liverpool travel to face Aston Villa on Monday Night Football in the Premier League this evening.
Unai Emery’s Champions League-chasing hosts, four points ahead of Tottenham in fourth with only two games left to play this term, lost to Brighton last time out in the top-flight and then saw their Europa Conference League hopes ended by losing to Olympiacos in the semi-finals on Thursday night.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are now in the home stretch of the iconic Jurgen Klopp era.
With their very remote title hopes officially over after the weekend’s results, the focus will now surely be on giving the German the perfect send-off following such a trophy-laden tenure on Merseyside.
They beat Tottenham 4-2 last time out at Anfield to get back on track and with Champions League qualification already secured, it’s about enjoying the final Klopp days.
Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool team news
Villa is assessing Morgan Rogers, Alex Moreno, Nicolo Zaniolo and Youri Tielemans, who all missed Thursday’s defeat in Greece. Jacob Ramsey, Tyrone Mings, Emi Buendia and Boubacar Kamara all out injured, meanwhile.
Diogo Jota was not fit enough to return to Liverpool training before last week’s win over Spurs and no further update was provided by Klopp at Friday’s pre-match press conference, with reports that Andy Robertson may also have missed a session.
Ben Doak, Bobby Clark, Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara are the only other confirmed absentees for the Reds at this point.
Liverpool will hope to have Diogo Jota back before the end of the season
