Don't forget you can watch highlights of this and every Premier League game from 00:01 on Monday.
90+3'
There goes the final whistle! A 2-1 win for Liverpool, who deserved their three points for a strong performance in the second half.
90+1'
Benteke has the ball in the net, but is clearly offside. Frustration for the forward.
89'
We are into three minutes of added time. A yellow card for Westwood after taking out Henderson.
88'
N'Zogbia flicks the ball down the line, but Enrique tracks back to make the clearance.
87'
Villa will remain third bottom of the table with this defeat which is not where you want to be at this stage of the season.
86'
Delph doing well to block the run of Henderson. Guzan out of his goal to grab the chipped ball forward from Gerrard.
85'
Since their 3-1 win at Anfield, Villa have picked up 12 points from 13 Premier Leagu matches. Only Stoke (10) and Norwich (9) have picked up fewer points since mid-December.
84'
An N'Zogbia shot is charged down by the black shirts. Hard to see where the Villa equaliser is going to come from here.
83'
How costly will that miss prove to be? Liverpool again on the move, but Suarez runs the ball out of play trying to go beyond Vlaar.
82'
Suarez dances into the Villa box. Tries to go round Guzan, but the keeper holds him up before saving his attempted chip seconds later.
81'
Johnson carries the ball forward, but then goes back to Downing. Some nice stuff here from Liverpool.
80'
Carragher doing some admirable work to halt the run of Agbonlahor. Brilliant piece of defending by the former England defender.
79'
Downing with a pretty horrendous attempt at goal. Lifts the ball well over the bar from distance.
78'
Delph clips Suarez with a late tackle. Liverpool have a free-kick here 35 yards from the home goal.
77'
Sterling fires the ball across goal, but straight into the welcoming arms of Guzan. Time the real enemy now for Villa.
76'
On comes Raheem Sterling for Liverpool and off goes Coutinho.
75'
Sylla departs to be replaced by Karim El Ahmadi for the home side.
74'
Villa with plenty of the ball and then they lose it. Enrique embarks on a run, but can't keep the ball in play. Goalkick to Villa. And changes coming.
73'
Lucas gives the ball away to Vlaar. Liverpool trying to keep possession and take the sting out of the match. Easier said than done. Villa pressed back at the moment.
