Coutinho beats Van Dijk, the man whose signing his sale funded, and heads towards the box from the Villa right.

It took a penalty for Liverpool to beat us [1-0 in December] , I'd like an improvement tonight. The players take a knee and Liverpool kick-off, attacking the Holte End and put the ball out for a throw-in which Cash takes and switches to the left. Terrible defending by Villa who fail to clear their lines a number of times, Mings and Nakamba most culpable defending the free-kick. Better from Liverpool who zip a few passes around between Jones, Fabinho, Keita and the full-backs. Aston Villa fans boo until the move fizzles out with an over-hit cross and then inform Jon Moss 'you're not fit to referee'. In short he makes a hash of it, Villa fans unite in shouting 'Aaaaaah!' and Mings hacks it away. Diaz spins Digne's blood down by the right corner flag but then passes straight to a Villa defender who moves it into midfield. Whether it is Henderson's influence or Villa have run out of gas, it's hard to say at this point. Liverpool were only behind for a couple of minutes but equalising did not alter the momentum of this topsy-turvy game for half an hour. Coutinho beats Van Dijk, the man whose signing his sale funded, and heads towards the box from the Villa right. McGinn trips Mane. Liverpool free-kick, 25 yards out, left of centre, closer to the middle than the last. Alexander-Arnold fires a long diagonal out to Jota on the left.

Early first-half goals from Douglas Luiz and Joel Matip left the match level at the break, with Sadio Mane netting a crucial winner in the 65th minute to hand ...

"We concentrate on what we need to do. It was a big game and another three points," Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson told Sky Sports. It was his 15th league goal of the season, the third Liverpool player to reach at least that mark this campaign after Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota.

A much-changed Liverpool side came from behind to win at Villa Park to keep the pressure on league leaders Manchester City.

For all the stunning simplicity of Liverpool’s second goal, the equivalent of the perfect cheese on toast, Villa had plenty enough chances to take at least one point and probably three. Douglas Luiz had two bites and dined on the second. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s free-kick appeared comparatively harmless, slightly looped toward Tyrone Mings. Somehow he – and at least one more – Villa defender acted or thought out of turn. This time Naby Keita inexplicably trod on the ball from Trent Alexander Arnold’s cross. The Dutch colossus breezed through such a contest of high stakes displaying masterful quality. Klopp spent Saturday late evening explaining why he could never coach a team to be defensive, so he must have been mightily impressed by the intensity of Villa’s start.

Minute-by-minute report: Will Jürgen Klopp's side keep their hopes of the league title on track? Find out with Rob Smyth.

It’s the year 2022, Liverpool are involved in a title race - and Steven Gerrard is a central figure. By a quirk of the fixture computer and the managerial merry-go-round, Gerrard’s Aston Villa side play Liverpool tonight and Manchester City at the Etihad on the final day of the season. Liverpool are having more of the ball but Villa are a big threat on the break. He was expected to be THE big thing only a few years before. That’s a bit of a surprise given Diaz’s recent form on the left. Does no one remember when they signed Robinho? Sure, he’d perhaps flattered to deceive a little in the couple of years before, but he was still incredibly high profile. 19 min: Just wide from Mane! Tsimikias - what a good player he is by the way - swings over a lovely cross from the left. Alisson made an unconvincing save and Luiz - once of Manchester City - gobbled up the rebound from a few yards. Alisson made a smart save from Watkins, but Liverpool couldn’t clear the danger. Villa take a short corner on the left and work it back to McGinn, whose beautiful outswinging cross is headed over by Ings eight yards out. 33 min Coutinho cuts inside from the left, plays a one-two with Digne and whips an imaginative shot over the bar. He must be a huge doubt for the FA Cup final though.

Liverpool are asking the question of Manchester City, who we know are red-hot favourites, but pressure does strange things to people. Luis Diaz is a great player.” The amount of work he does for the team off the ball, defending at the end and but he has the quality in and around the box. Diaz comes in on the left and Mane goes to centre forward. “In general, we need to think about how we can sort that. “We have our situation and if you want to win an away game you have to open up spaces.
