The Reds will host Villa at the City Ground in the Premier League on Saturday
The Reds host Villa at the City Ground in the Premier League on Saturday and Unai Emery’s side are sweating over the fitness of star striker Ollie Watkins.
Emery confirmed after the final whistle that Watkins was withdrawn due to injury. “In the first half Watkins had a small injury and Duran replaced him and played the same level and scored one goal,” he said. "We played seriously and disciplined, controlling the game and now we have 13 points and more or less recovering confidence. Some players are also feeling better and hopefully we can keep going and try to be consistent in the next match against Nottingham Forest. In the Champions League we are feeling strong and comfortable."
