The ball will roll again in the Premier League. This Monday, Aston Villa and Liverpool face the 17th round of the English Premier League in a duel that marks the return of competition after the 2022 World Cup. The game takes place at Villa Park, at 2:30 pm (Brasília time).
In recovery in the championship after the departure of coach Steven Gerrard and the arrival of Unai Emery, the Birmingham team tries to climb the table to reach the top half. The Villans will be missing goalkeeper Dibu Martínez, who won the World Cup with Argentina and has yet to return.
The Reds, on the other hand, want to get closer to the first places and know that the victory is of fundamental importance this Monday. Coach Jürgen Klopp has some absences due to injury and will also not have defender Konaté, who went all the way to the World Cup final with France.
