Liverpool are chasing their eighth straight win on Saturday as they look to dent Unai Emery's resurgent Aston Villa.
The Reds claimed their seventh successive triumph when they comfortably brushed past Leicester City on Monday. Trent Alexander-Arnold rounded off the scoring with a superb free-kick after Curtis Jones capped his fine form with a brace.
Newcastle United peeled clear thanks to their win over Brighton & Hove Albion but the gap between Liverpool and arch-rivals Manchester United remains a point. The Red Devils are away to Bournemouth in conjunction with the Villans' trip to Merseyside as both sides look to secure Champions League football for next season.
