Liverpool will be looking for their third victory in a row when they take on Aston Villa this weekend.
Jurgen Klopp's side came from behind to beat Newcastle in dramatic fashion last time out. Trailing 1-0 and a man down, the Reds scored twice late on to turn the game on its head. That win will have given Liverpool a huge lift ahead of another tricky match this weekend.
Aston Villa are also on a high after four wins on the bounce in all competitions. Their latest Premier League success came against Burnley, as Unai Emery's men produced an excellent all-round display at Turf Moor.
This promises to be an entertaining encounter at Anfield, where both teams will be pushing for all three points. It could be one of the best games of the Premier League weekend.
Kick-off is at 4.30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
• UK: Sky Sports and TNT Sports are the two main players, but Amazon also have a slice of the pie in 2023/24.
• USA: NBC Sports Group are the Premier League rights holders, with the Peacock Premium streaming platform showing all 380 games in the season. A fuboTV subscription also lets you watch every game.
