Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp's champions are hoping to shrug off a League Cup exit and the news of Sadie Mane’s positive Coronavirus test by continuing their perfect PL start. Villa will have other ideas and are aiming to maintain their own 100 per cent record. Something has to give. Kick off 19.15 BST.

90+3'
FT: Villa 7-2 Liverpool. A Watkins treble inspires the hosts to a famous victory over the champions. Liverpool have been well and truly humbled after their high defensive line was brutally exposed by Smith's game-plan.
