Liverpool Looks to Secure Victory in Klopp’s Final Away Fixture at Aston Villa

Villa Park will play host to Jurgen Klopp’s final away fixture as Reds boss, as Liverpool travel to face Aston Villa on Monday Night Football in the Premier League this evening.

Unai Emery’s Champions League-chasing hosts, four points ahead of Tottenham in fourth with only two games left to play this term, lost to Brighton last time out in the top-flight and then saw their Europa League dreams end in the semi-finals on Thursday night.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are now in the home stretch of the iconic Klopp era. With their very remote title hopes officially over after the weekend’s results, the focus will now surely be on giving the German the perfect send-off following such a trophy-laden tenure on Merseyside.

They beat Arsenal to get back on track and with Champions League qualification already secured, it’s about enjoying the final Klopp days. Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time tonight on Monday May 13, 2024. Villa Park in Birmingham will host the contest.

TV channel: In the UK, tonight’s game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR. Coverage of Monday Night Football starts at 6.30pm.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers also will be able to watch on a live stream online via the Sky Go app.

LIVE coverage: Follow all the action live tonight with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog. Villa are assessing Morgan Rogers, Alex Moreno, Nicolo Zaniolo and Youri Tielemans, who all missed Thursday’s defeat in Greece.

Jacob Ramsey, Tyrone Mings, Emi Buendia, and Boubacar Kamara all out injured, meanwhile.Diogo Jota was not fit enough to return to Liverpool training before last week’s win over Spurs and no further update was provided by Klopp at Friday’s pre-match press conference, with reports that Andy Robertson may also have missed a session.

Ben Doak, Bobby Clark, Joel Matip, and Thiago Alcantara are the only other confirmed absentees for the Reds at this point. Liverpool will hope to have Diogo Jota back before the end of the season.

With Villa limping towards the finish line in the Premier League after so many injuries across such a busy campaign, you’d have to back Liverpool for victory tonight. Liverpool to win, 2-1. Villa have not beaten Liverpool since their famous 7-2 thrashing on home soil in 2020.
