Aston Villa and Liverpool have each made one change apiece for Monday's Premier League fixture in the West Midlands.

Unai Emery takes his Villa side into this contest knowing that victory will secure a top-four finish in the standings, while Jurgen Klopp is taking charge of his penultimate game in charge of Liverpool.

The respective bosses have opted against making major alterations for this contest, with that being more of a surprise in Villa's case than the visitors.

Villa lost 2-0 at Olympiacos in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night, but the only alteration is down to an injury to Matty Cash.

Youri Tielemans is the player to return to the side in midfield, with Ezri Konsa taking his place at right-back and Diego Carlos remaining in the centre.

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp's one change is also enforced with Andrew Robertson having to drop out of the team due to injury.

Joe Gomez gets the nod ahead of Kostas Tsimikas, with Klopp opting to stick with the same midfield and attack that flourished in a 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

That means the likes of Ibrahima Konate, Dominik Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez all feature on what is a star-studded substitutes' bench.

Stefan Bajcetic will also be hoping to earn more minutes after making a 25-minute cameo against Spurs on his first appearance since September.
