Overview
- Liverpool vs Aston Villa will start at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, 1 November, under the lights at Anfield.
- TNT Sports selected the fixture for UK coverage, with the match airing on TNT Sports 1 and streaming on Discovery+.
- Earlier Saturday slots were unavailable in Liverpool due to the Rugby League Ashes test at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium, and Sky Sports holds the 5:30 p.m. window.
- Moving the game to Sunday was not possible because Liverpool must meet rest requirements before Tuesday’s Champions League match against Real Madrid.
- A similar 8:00 p.m. Saturday kick-off between these clubs took place last season for comparable rest-period and broadcast reasons, with previews noting Villa’s four-match league winning run and Liverpool’s four defeats.
