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

What other things do teams do religiously? They might pray, read scriptures, or otherwise attend their places of worship. That leads onto the next question. With the exception of not believing in a god, G-d or gods, can you do anything atheistly?

Brendan Rodgers: "Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea are based around Champions League squads. They have been religiously in there and they have got a lot of depth that they can call upon. But we know that if we have got the fortune to stay clear of injury and whatnot, I would put our team up against anyone. I would never give up the fight. Of course, the challenge is to get to fourth. Once you can do that, it is all about seeing if you can go beyond that."

Daniel Sturridge starts for Liverpool, resurrecting his wildly successful partnership with Luis Suarez, while Raheem Sterling gets another start for the home side. Loan signing Grant Holt is on the Villa bench.

It's full-time around the Premier League, and wins for Manchester City and Arsenal have kept the pressure on Liverpool.
