    U23s boss Mark Delaney will take charge of the team.

  • Villa were forced to close their training ground on Thursday after suffering a "significant coronavirus outbreak", with the club's match against the Reds being put to doubt.

    The first-team squad saw their final training session get canceled.

    Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp said his side had no positive cases before they travel to Villa Park.

    The results from the latest tests are yet to come in.
