Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa (Salah)It's there! 20:13Ian DoyleNot greatLiverpool still look a team that seems unaware of this sport they're playing.Given they have only two new signings out there this evening, it's a little unsettling.Early days, though.20:07Paul GorstOff the postMorgan Rogers cuts inside and hits the post.Liverpool were played through too easily there, all came from Kamara picking it up in oceans of space after Villa had beat the home side's press.
Good to see Ryan Gravenberch back from injury, at least.And it's a big night for that front three!19:07Paul GorstTeam news in fullArne Slot makes nine changes to his Liverpool team for tonight's visit of Aston Villa. They will need time to get comfortable and strong with the players they have, but individually they have very good players.My respect is massive, and I know it's going to be very difficult to get something there.
I'm excited and motivated, even more for the difficulties we will face against them.18:50KEY EVENTAston Villa team news confirmedAston Villa: Martínez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Kamara, Onana, McGinn, Rogers, Guessand, Watkins.Subs: Bizot, Lindelöf, Mings, Barkley, Malen, Sancho, Maatsen, Bogarde, Broggio.18:50Ian DoyleWelcome very muchA rather cold and damp welcome to the latest game in Liverpool's season.Yes, it's Aston Villa and it's the Premier League at Anfield.The Reds have lost their last 394837489374 domestic matches so they could do with a victory here.By the way, I was at Everton earlier today to watch some proper sport as England's rugby league team lost to Australia. Yes, we can and should be aware of the incredible atmospheres that are created when things are going well in the biggest games, but we should be equally aware – and appreciative of – the backing we get at difficult times.Against Palace we were 2-0 down and if we are being totally honest it did not really feel like we would get back into the game but even so the fans were still pushing us on, trying to help us to make a difference.It was not to be but what happened tells me that tonight the fans will be incredible again, especially if ourselves as a team can show our best face.I would like to welcome Unai Emery, his players and staff and the supporters and officials of Aston Villa to Anfield for tonight’s game.After a difficult start to the season, Villa’s form has had a big turnaround in recent weeks and they have had some really impressive results – including a victory over Manchester City last week – so we should expect to face a team which has quality and belief.They are also an example of how quickly fortunes can change as long as everyone continues to believe and commitment does not diminish.
