Liverpool vs Aston Villa live score, updates, lineups and result from ...
ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL — Liverpool's hopes of reaching next season's Champions League are hanging by a thread after victory for rivals Newcastle United in midweek.
But, even if the Reds cannot sneak into the top four across the next two games, there is clear value in rounding off the season with a nine-game winning streak.
That is the sort of run that can provide a perfect springboard into a new campaign that they hope will bring better fortune.
However, securing yet another three points against one of the division's form teams in Aston Villa, who have enjoyed a remarkable uptick since Unai Emery's appointment, will be not be easy.

There is a place on the bench for the fit-again Roberto Firmino as well as James Milner as they say farewell to Anfield, but Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain both miss out.
Klopp himself will be banned from the touchline following an FA sanction for his comments about referee Paul Tierney.
