Jurgen Klopp is banned from the touchline as Liverpool look to put the pressure on Manchester United in the race for the Premier League’s top four against Aston Villa.
The Reds side have now won seven games in a row and sit just a point outside the top four as they continue to chase down Manchester United and Newcastle.
To stand any chance of pushing it to the wire, however, the Reds need to win both of their remaining games.
Villa are flying under Unai Emery and have claimed big scalps against Newcastle and Tottenham of late.
One of the best teams in the Premier League at the moment, it’s Liverpool’s last true test this season.
