Liverpool host Aston Villa in a late Saturday kick off as Arne Slot’s side attempt to enter the international break sitting top of the Premier League.

The Reds come into the match on the back of a 4-0 thrashing of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and a victory over Villa will cap off a fine week that has also seen Slot’s team secure a comeback victory over Brighton last weekend. Liverpool have won eight of theur 10 league games and have a two-point advantage over reigning champions Manchester City though any slip up could cause them to fall down the table.

Dropping points against Villa is a realistic possibility. Unai Emery’s men have made a strong start to the season and currently sit sixth in the table though they are in a poor run of form. A shock 4-1 defeat to Tottenham last weekend was followed by a 1-0 loss to Club Brugge after Tyrone Mings’ calamitous error during the week.

Taking points off Liverpool at Anfield would turn about Villa’s form and send them into the break with a bit of momentum. Can they do so?

Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa

Villa win a free-kick on the left wing, but Digne’s delivery only reaches the first man as Bradley clears. There’s a VAR check, as Bradley seemed to tug Torres to the ground, but nothing doing.

Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa

Plenty of exchanges of possession here but neither side can capitalise at the moment. The home side have had 75 per cent of the second-half possession so far, so that gives you an idea of how long Villa have the ball for when they do win it back.

Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa

Onana has been everywhere so far tonight, winning possession back on a number of occasions. Liverpool have been trying to push forward but they’ve been limited over the last couple of minutes.

Villa try and launch a counter but Bailey can’t get the shot away and he’s blocked off by a sea of red shirts in the box.

Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa

Rogers tries to play in Watkins but a combination of Konate and Jones wins the ball back on the edge of the Liverpool box.

Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa

CLOSE! Liverpool go close now as Diaz finds Robertson on the overlap. He delivers a brilliant cross to Nunez at the near post, but he can only power a header wide!

Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa

Villa launch the ball forward and Konate can only head it to Rogers. The space opens up in front of him as Konate had fallen, and Rogers is 1-v-1, but he fires wide as he tried to curl into the far corner!
