Welcome to LIVE coverage of Aston Villa v Liverpool from Villa Park!

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

A smattering of jeers greets the full-time whistle, and it has been a pretty depressing afternoon for Villa. Liverpool back on the rise.

Dirk Kuyt is caught offside inside the Villa box, and that might well do us.

Three minutes of stoppage time being played.

Charles N'Zogbia smacks a free-kick into the wall and Liverpool clear.

It's a very limp finish here. Villa absolutely do not look like scoring.

Kuyt is on at last, replacing Bellamy.

Here's OptaJoe: '11% - Proportion of Aston Villa’s goals that have come in the closing 15 mins of games; the lowest rate in the PL this season. Misery.'

Villa work the ball around nicely enough at the edge of the Liverpool box, but where is the penetration? Bannan gives it away.

Dirk Kuyt is about to come on for Liverpool...

Shelvey shoots over and is now taken off - Jamie Carragher comes on and takes the captain's armband...

The atmosphere is pretty flat inside Villa Park. The chances of the home side conjuring two goals from somewhere look very remote.

Aston Villa: Andreas Weimann on for Fabian Delph.

Glen Johnson makes a good run down the right, reaches the byline, then takes a heavy touch and puts it out for a goal-kick.

Liverpool continue to make most of the running. It is all too easy for them now.

Alex McLeish looks a worried man. He has struggled to get Villa playing, and as the season nears its halfway point he really needs to turn things around here.

Villa want a penalty as Albrighton's shot is blocked. Ref Peter Walton doesn't want to know about it.

Andy Carroll gets a run out, replacing Suarez who gets a standing ovation as he leaves the park. It hardly needs saying, but Carroll could do with a goal.

Villa win a free-kick 40 yards out, and up comes Richard Dunne... lofted into the box and Reina gets a decent punch clear.

The worry for Villa fans is that there is almost nothing on the bench - good defensive cover from Ciaran Clark and Carlos Cuellar, but further forward - Weimann, Johnson and Burke.
