The Reds need the win and have waited for Manchester City to stumble to bounce back in the title fight
This Tuesday, Liverpool visit Aston Villa for a late Premier League match. Coach Klopp’s team is three points behind Manchester City in the fight for the title and needs to win away from home. The match, at Villa Park, is scheduled for 16:00 (Brasília time).
The match valid for the 33rd round, will leave the Reds with one more game and can reach the same score as the Citzens. Liverpool are currently in second place with 83 points. In the next round, penultimate of the Premier League, Manchester City face West Ham on Sunday and Liverpool against Southampton on Tuesday.
Jurgen Klopp will have no new squad issues to face in the game at Villa Park. The Liverpool manager will be left without just one first-team player in the worst-case scenario. Roberto Firmino faced a late physical test to determine his readiness to face Aston Villa. But the Brazilian is unlikely to start on Tuesday, with Klopp expected to take him back in the second half only.
