Aston Villa and Liverpool meet in the Premier League tonight in their quest for Champions League qualification
Aston Villa host Liverpool this evening in Friday night Premier League action at Villa Park.
The two teams meet in the Midlands locked on the same number of points – 59 – with the Reds in fourth place and Villa in fifth thanks to the Merseysiders’ superior goal difference.
Both sides look well placed to secure Champions League football next season but could in theory still be caught by sixth-placed Bournemouth.
The Cherries face a tough test against Manchester City next Tuesday.
A win for either Unai Emery or Arne Slot’s charges tonight would also keep the pressure on third-place Manchester United.
Here is everything you need to know about the clash in Birmingham.

Unai Emery: “To now explain about the reason for this decision is very difficult, or it is easy, but it is not the moment,” Emery said of the botched loan move for Harvey Elliott.
“My apologies for Harvey Elliott are, every day, in my mind.
“We have our responsibility and Liverpool have their responsibility.
“How the season has gone has been difficult.”
Arne Slot: “I don’t think I am deciding that myself alone.
“I have every reason to believe that I am the Liverpool manager next season.
“First of all, I am contracted to this club, and second of all from all the talks we are having.”
