Aston Villa vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League latest score, match stream, goal updates and fan reaction | OneFootball

Champions League race going down to the wire ahead of decisive six-pointer

The final Friday night fixture of the 2025/26 Premier League season will take place tonight as Liverpool visit Aston Villa in a potentially decisive tie in the race for Champions League qualification. The two sides come into this match level on 59 points, and whoever comes out on top here will confirm their involvement in European football next season. A draw could see both teams qualify, though that would hinge on the outcome of Bournemouth vs Manchester City on Tuesday night.

Unai Emery’s Villa, of course, have the small matter of a European final to be thinking about. Tonight’s will be their final outing before they head to Istanbul to face Freiburg in the Europa League final, where victory will send them into the Champions League. However, they are not in wonderful form, with just one win in their last five across all competitions, and will hope to build some momentum here.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are preparing to bid farewell to Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, who both stand to make their penultimate appearances for the club here. Follow the action LIVE below with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog, complete with expert insight and analysis.
