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:

FANTASTIC STOP BY OLSEN! Alexander-Arnold yet again sets a team-mate up for an almost sure goal, with the full-back wrapping his foot around a free-kick to play Nunez through on goal. The striker volleys his shot with the inside of his foot five yards from goal but an alert Olsen again keeps Villa in the game!

Bailey is taken down just outside the penalty area but the referee deems the contact fair, before the Aston Villa winger is called for obstruction. It's a free-kick to Liverpool from which to clear their lines, which further infuriates the home support.
