Aston Villa's Premier League clash with Liverpool has seen a last-minute change of referee.

Stuart Attwell was initially scheduled to oversee the clash of the giants at Villa Park on Wednesday night, but the 42-year-old has now been replaced by Craig Pawson.

The Reds have won 18 of their 25 games in the English top flight this season thus far, with their only defeat coming at the hands of Nottingham Forest back in September.

Meanwhile, at ninth in the standings, Villa are hopeful of keeping their European dreams alive for the 2025/26 campaign, just five points from Europa League qualification and six from the Champions League.

Unai Emery's team has impressed on European stage across 2024/25, finishing eighth in the new league format with five wins, one draw and just two losses from eight games.

The Villains are next set to play either Club Brugge, Borussia Dortmund of Sporting CP in the Round of 16, as they hope to achieve their first Champions League title since 1982's 1-0 win over Bayern Munich.

The midfielder cut inside from the right-hand side, before curling a shot towards Anthony Patterson's goal, lobbing the keeper before Struijk once more nodded the ball home to give Leeds all three points.

The victory landed Leeds back at the top of the Championship table, two points clear of Sheffield United as they look to win automatic promotion back to the Premier League.
