Watch Liverpool vs Aston Villa | Premier league

Anfield hosts a fascinating match-up between two of the Premier League’s early high-flyers today, as Liverpool face Aston Villa.

Both sides have won all of their games since a tricky opening weekend and want to head into the international break in fine spirit with a win this afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp’s side is without new signing Ryan Gravenberch but finally look to have improved their midfield situation with the deadline day purchase.

Darwin Nunez has earned a starting berth after his brace off the bench secured a huge victory at Newcastle a week ago.

Villa, meanwhile, come into this one off the back of a Europa Conference League cruise past Hibernian and a win on Merseyside will boost their confidence of competing on multiple fronts this season.
