Villa will want to finish well, Emery doing incredible job - Klopp

Aston Villa host Liverpool in a Monday night Premier League encounter with the hopes of guaranteeing themselves a place in next season’s Champions League.

Unai Emery’s team come into the match sitting fourth in the table with a four point lead over Tottenham in fifth. With both teams still having two matches to play a defeat to Liverpool could leave the midlands club vulnerable heading into the final weekend of the season.

For their part, Liverpool recovered from a Merseyside derby loss to Everton, which also effectively ended their title challenge, and a draw with West Ham when they defeated Spurs 4-2 last time out. That victory was a boost to Villa’s chances of clinching fourth place but the Reds, who have secured third, could swing the momentum back in Tottenham’s favour with a win at Villa Park.

58’ - Villa 1-3 Liverpool

Another one in the net - another flag up. It’s early this time so the VAR check is to see if that’s correct.

Diaz runs through, Konsa might be just high enough to play offside, then the Colombian squares and either Elliott or Salah knocks it in - they both went for it.

Either way, it’s offside, still 3-1.

56’ - Villa 1-3 Liverpool

Carnage. Allison clears against Watkins, Diaby takes on the last defender and gives it back to Watkins, he for some reason backheels instead of laying it off again...the ball bobbles wide.

Liverpool should be punished for the poor defensive work, Villa should possibly never be allowed possession again for squandering some of these chances.

What a crazy game.

NO GOAL! 52’ - Villa 1-3 Liverpool

Nope, Liverpool escape - Bailey is just slightly offside. He and Diaby have more than a few words about that, with the latter coming from deeper and he would have been on. Watkins and Luiz also involved.

GOAL! 51’ - Villa 2-3 Liverpool

Straight up the other end, ball in the net!

A very strange phase as everybody stops, including Bailey, then he decides to sprint again, cuts the ball back to Watkins and he bundles the ball into the net!

3-2...but a VAR check for offside. Looks close.

GOAL! 48’ - Villa 1-3 Liverpool

And they’ve fallen asleep again!

Elliott delivers a free-kick to the far post, Quansah rises highest above Digne and loops a header past Martinez and in off the far post!

3-1 to the Reds and Emery raises his eyes to the sky.

46' - Villa 1-2 Liverpool

Back underway at Villa Park. What have the home side got in response; they started the first half very slowly. Can’t afford same again.

HT - Villa 1-2 Liverpool

Ok here it is - watch this one as many times as you want, there’s still no clue or consensus as to what on earth Emi Martinez was trying to do.

Not his first fumble, flap and ensuing own goal, either.

HT - Villa 1-2 Liverpool

A strange half: some very fluid moves, a couple of well-worked goals and a lot of terrible defensive work.

HT - Villa 1-2 Liverpool

One more chance for Villa to push forward but Van Dijk and Quansah between them clear up. Elliott then feeds Gakpo but his pass halts the momentum and the game drifts to the interval, via Salah spooning one over when it was offside anyway.

Liverpool lead at the break, Gakpo’s goal the difference following Martinez’s first-minute own goal and Tielemans’ equaliser.

45’+3 - Villa 1-2 Liverpool

Diaby takes some flak from the Villa fans this time as he runs behind the defence once again but tries a backheel to Bailey instead of a more conventional pass or shot. Gomez intercepts easily.

Diaz and Alexander-Arnold both have presentable chances to set up chances but both woefully overhit their passes.

McGinn is down again and wants some attention to what he feels was an elbow in the ribs. There was a bump between he and Mac Allister, nothing particularly untoward, and another soon after with Gakpo - neither looked particularly worrisome on first glance but he’s feeling something for sure.
