Aston Villa must shrug off recent disappointment when they host Liverpool in the Premier League.
Unai Emery’s side lost to Brighton last time out in a domestic sense and then saw their Europa Conference League hopes ended by losing to Olympiakos on Thursday night.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are in the final stretch of the Jurgen Klopp era.
While winning the title remains an outside possibility, the focus will surely be on giving the German the perfect send-off following such a trophy-laden tenure.
They beat Tottenham 4-2 last time out to get back on track and with Champions League qualification already secured, it’s about enjoying the final Klopp-ian days.
Here’s everything you need to know.
