Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Aston Villa today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Liverpool vs Aston Villa

Villa counter-attack after defending a corner, with Maatsen and Duran linking up to play in their fellow sub Philogene. However, a loose touch takes the latter into traffic and Liverpool snuff out any danger.

As in several recent games, Aston Villa just can't find any rhythm in the final third, and they've managed just one attempt since half-time - that was an off-target shot by Rogers just seconds after the restart.

Liverpool's free-kick comes to nothing, and Martinez ultimately collects the ball. Within seconds, though, Robertson lofts a lovely ball over the top for Gakpo, who cuts inside from the left and lashes a shot well wide of the target.

McGinn is penalised for using his lower body to usher Salah off the ball, and Liverpool win a free-kick in a threatening area. They will have a set-piece from 30 yards out, near the right touchline.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa

Slot has already become just the fifth manager to win as many as eight of his first 10 Premier League games in charge - a club including ex-Villa boss John Gregory (1998) - and number nine is now just minutes from his grasp. Liverpool could take at least a five-point lead into their upcoming clash with Manchester City, so it's vital they hold on to this lead.
