Liverpool is in the Mid -Week Premier League campaign in the second week when they travel to Aston Villa.
The Reds can extend their leadership to 10 points with victory, but it will not be an easy task against the men of Unai Emery who have not lost at home in the Premier League since August.
Arne Slot’s men followed their dramatic 2-2 Merseyside derby difference against Everton on Sunday with a 2-1 victory against the wolves, but looked slightly edited in the second half, as their full schedule is opposed.
Take a look at the confirmed start -XIS for the Clash from 7:30 p.m. in Villa Park below.
