Liverpool vs Aston Villa – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Arne Slot turns to trusted defender in bid to extend advantage over Manchester City

What a campaign Liverpool are having under Arne Slot, eh?

Every Reds fan that I talk to can’t believe the position they are in at this moment in time, and neither can I.

Going into this weekend, Liverpool were two points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, while also sitting at the summit of the Champions League.

They have been on a roll, winning 14 of 16 matches in all competitions this season, with their only loss coming to Nottingham Forest in mid-September.

Surely this run can’t last forever.

It will certainly be challenged today by an Aston Villa side who are in dire need of a victory.

Can the Reds take another three points and stay top?
