Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah fired Liverpool five points clear at the top of the Premier League as the 2-0 victory over Aston Villa clinically exploited Manchester City's defeat earlier in the day.

Aston Villa were going pretty well for a while back there too, until letting in a last-gasp equaliser at home to Bournemouth, since when they’ve lost three on the bounce, albeit in three different competitions.

In-form Liverpool host an Aston Villa side that has hit a sticky patch in Saturday's final Premier League fixture of the day at Anfield. Arne Slot's side are on a six-match unbeaten run and come into this clash off the back of an impressive 4-0 win at home against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
