It's Aston Villa vs Liverpool in the Premier League tonight
Welcome to our live coverage of the crucial Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Liverpool. Kick-off at Villa Park is 8pm.
Both sides know that if they win tonight they will secure their place in next season's Champions League. A draw would give Bournemouth or less likely Brighton & Hove Albion a chance of gatecrashing the top five.
Fourth-placed Liverpool, who are above Villa on goal difference, come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea that was criticised by supporters.
The following day Unai Emery's fifth-placed team also dropped points, drawing 2-2 at relegated Burnley, but the mood among their fanbase was markedly different given it came on the back of qualifying for the Europa League final.
With this evening's match also acting as a send off before Villa contest that Istanbul showpiece, expect the atmosphere to be red hot.
So can the Reds handle the heat? Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle are at Villa Park to find out. They'll bring you all the pre-match build-up, including team news when it drops at 6.45pm, followed by an in-game commentary stream and the best post-match reaction and analysis.
