Aston Villa vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Villa Park
Follow live coverage as Aston Villa face Liverpool in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

MISCUED BY BAILEY! Buendia charges down the left wing after a misplaced header from Matip. The cross comes in but Watkins mistimes his jump and fails to get something on it before Bailey scuffs his gilt-edged chance, providing Alisson with an easy save!
Aston Villa vs Liverpool
Alexander-Arnold is relishing his role as playmaker, picking up possession just inside Villa’s half before wrapping a pass around the defensive line for the run of Nunez - forcing Olsen off his line to make the interception.

Alexander-Arnold shapes another lovely lifted pass up the pitch, this time picking out Oxlade-Chamberlain inside the penalty area. A chance to shoot presents itself but he’s unable to get the ball out from underneath his feet, allowing the Villa defence to converge and clear.
