Liverpool could finally secure its place in next season’s Champions League today as it takes on Aston Villa in its penultimate game of the season.
The two sides are level on points heading into the game, and on course for a spot at Europe’s top table next season via a top-five finish, with Villa also still on route to qualify via the Europa League.
A win for either side later would guarantee their place in the Champions League, while any sort of dropped points could set up a nervy final day, which Arne Slot and his team will be eager to avoid.

Early team news
Mohamed Salah is back in contention for Liverpool in what will be his penultimate game with the Reds, although Arne Slot has revealed he will only be able to play a small part following his recent hamstring injury.
Ibrahima Konate is fit after a slight concern over his fitness after being withdrawn against Chelsea last weekend. There are still doubts over Alisson Becker and Florian Wirtz though, with Slot set to make a late decision on both.

As for the hosts, Harvey Elliott will not be eligible to face his parent club. The England U21 international's loan at Villa has certainly not gone to plan, and he will return to Liverpool in the summer.
Elsewhere, Boubacar Kamara, Alysson and Amadou Onana miss out through injury. Unai Emery could look to make changes to his side, with the Europa League final just five days away.
