But the reigning champions drew last time out at West Ham United, meaning they need a home win over Aston Villa to guarantee finishing top regardless of Liverpool’s result.

Intriguingly, the visitors are managed by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, who could play a key role in securing the Premier League Trophy for his former club.

If Villa get a point or more then the door will be open for Liverpool, and a home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers would give the Reds their second Premier League title.
