Liverpool are seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table but it is not impossible for second-place Arsenal to catch them.

So who has the more difficult run-in? Here's all you need to know:

The Reds having league games pretty much every three days until the end of the month. But things ease considerably in March, when the Reds play just one league game - a home fixture against bottom club Southampton.

That's not to say it is a quiet month, however, with Liverpool having the small matter of the EFL Cup final against Newcastle on 16 March. That cup final is why Wednesday's game against Aston Villa has been brought forward.

Arsenal play Chelsea at home in the Premier League on 16 March - at which point both clubs will have nine games left. On either 4 or 5 March, Liverpool will also have the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, when they will travel to one of Paris St-Germain, Benfica, Monaco or Brest.

The return leg at Anfield will take place a week later. Liverpool finish the season with a home game against Crystal Palace.

Liverpool's performance against Wolves on Sunday was hardly one to set the pulses racing.

They were good value for their two-goal lead at half time - thanks to a Luis Diaz finish and a Mohamed Salah penalty - but after the break it was struggling Wolves who were the better side.

This was the first time on record (since 2003-04) that Liverpool failed to attempt a shot in the second half of a Premier League game at Anfield, according to Opta.

In fact, it was the first time in this period that the Reds went an entire half of football without attempting a shot in a home league match.

Opta's supercomputer predicts Liverpool to win the Premier League pretty comfortably and has them to finish on 87 points, seven clear of Arsenal.

The statisticians give them an 87.65% chance of winning the title, with the Gunners on 12.35%. Every other team has been given 0% chance of finishing first.

Liverpool are seven points clear of second-place Arsenal and 13 ahead of Nottingham Forest in third.

With 13 games left of the season, the title winner is not nailed on yet.

Aston Villa will be hoping to get the better of leaders Liverpool this evening - but recent history between the two suggests the Reds may come out on top.

The last time Villa defeated Liverpool in any competition was back in 2020 in the Premier League. They demolished the Reds 7-2 with Ollie Watkins scoring a hat-trick and Jack Grealish netting two.

Since then Liverpool have beaten Villa seven times and drawn twice across all competitions.

The Premier League have confirmed the new Nike Flight ball will be used for games between now and the end of the 2024-25 Premier League season, with its first appearance coming tonight in Aston Villa's game against Liverpool.

The design is re-imagined from the Nike Total 90s football, and has been designed to celebrate the sportswear company's 25th year of being the official ball supplier to the Premier League.

Marcus Rashford could be handed his first Aston Villa start against Liverpool this evening.

The Manchester United loanee has impressed in his two substitute appearances since joining earlier this month.

Striker Rashford has not started a game since United's 2-1 Europa League win at Viktoria Plzen in December and has completed just four games this season.

Real Madrid loanee Marco Asensio is also pushing to start with Villa, ninth in the Premier League, looking to close the six-point gap to the top four when they host the leaders.

When asked if the pair were getting closer to starting, boss Unai Emery said: "Yes, because they are in their individual process to get fit and understand, tactically, our idea."

Whew, between Champions League action and breaking news, today has been packed. We haven't even got around to talking about tonight's Premier League game.

Let's correct that, as we look ahead to Aston Villa v Liverpool...

Howard Webb speaking to Mic'd Up on Liverpool's penalty: "A good spot at full speed, isn't it? You see the angle close up. you can see that contact from Cook's left leg into the left leg of Gakpo, which then causes Cody Gakpo to trip himself.

"But he only does that because of that careless contact by the Bournemouth player. I heard some people talk about this being accidental and therefore it's not because it's a matter of carelessness, isn't it? By Cook.

"Lewis Cook clearly is a little bit too close, makes the contact and causes Gakpo to fall when he's just about to pull the trigger, so a good spot in full speed and you know, rightly penalised. And of course ‘check-completed’ by the VAR.

"If the attacker went across the front of the defender, we might feel different. But he's not. He's running in a straight line and Cook just gets a bit too too close in a careless way. So clear penalty.”

What: Liverpool's Cody Gakpo goes down in the penalty area following a challenge from Bournemouth's Lewis Cook.

Decision: Referee Darren England awarded a penalty to Liverpool on pitch.

Outcome: VAR officials John Brooks and Dan Cook both checked the possibility for an offside and the foul itself before confirming the on-field decision.

Howard Webb speaking to Mic'd Up on Bryan Mbuemo's penalty retake: "Because Marc Guehi encroached into the penalty area before the penalty kick was taken, and then, became involved, impacting the play by clearing the ball.

"Just encroaching these days is not in itself an offence. You have to then impact the play by challenging an opponent or touching the ball in circumstances that prevent a follow-up goalscoring opportunity. If you're a defender in this case, we see Guehi coming in and clearing the ball away for a corner before any Brentford player can touch it.

"Interestingly enough, we know Mbeumo can't touch it again because the ball's hit the post without being saved by Henderson.

"Initially VAR looks at that and thinks, 'Well there is no impact so Mbeumo can't play the ball', but then he realises Janelt is coming in and Janelt could follow up and score. And that's the impact that we see. He can't follow up to score. So that's why it's retaken."

What: Brentford's Bryan Mbuemo missed a penalty against Crystal Palace but was ordered to retake it following encroachment in the penalty area by Palace's Marc Guehi.

Decision: Referee Tony Harrington had initially awarded a corner but was advised by the VAR officials about Guehi's encroachment which led to the retake.

Outcome: Mbuemo retook the penalty and scored, with Brentford winning the match 2-1.

Howard Webb speaking to Mic'd Up on Diogo Jota's overturned penalty: "Good use of VAR to overturn a quite clearly incorrect on-field decision. I think many people thought this was a penalty at full speed. From the pitch level that's certainly what the referee saw.

"But, of course, the VAR looks at it and can see that the defender has come past the attacker before there's any sort of a contact. It's not a penalty kick and therefore recommended to review. So exactly what the VAR should do and change that crucial on-field decision that was incorrect and make it right.

"I think the officials got really focused on the need to overturn the penalty. Our advice to them will be, obviously when they go to the screen, it's not just about overturning the on-field decision, it’s looking at all aspects of it and I agree with you, Diogo Jota acts in a way that’s meant to deceive the referee and therefore a yellow card should have been issued."

What: Liverpool forward Diogo Jota was awarded a penalty by referee Simon Hooper in the second half against Wolves at Anfield after a challenge from Wolves’ Emmanuel Agbadou.

Decision: Following a VAR review, the penalty was overturned after replays show Agbadou did not make any contact with Jota prior to him going down in the penalty area.

Outcome: PGMOL chief Howard Webb said that in live view, it did look like a foul on Jota but replays clearly showed no contact was made and the correct decision was reached.

Howard Webb speaking to Mic'd Up on Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card: "From the outset, I want to say we would prefer a yellow card in this situation. Clearly, the referee felt that the actions of Myles Lewis-Skelly were serious foul play.

"He saw a player moving in towards an opponent without any ability to play the ball, without any intention of playing the ball, with the intention of stopping the opponent. And the referee sees a raised foot make high contact and then the opponent go down.

"So in his opinion, it was serious foul play. The VAR checked the footage to see whether that decision was clearly and obviously wrong and determined that it wasn't, seeing that contact that was quite high on the leg.

"But, of course, we know that for serious foul play we need excessive force or brutality. And what we see here is that high contact glancing and coming off the leg quite quickly.

"So for that reason, everybody pretty much in the game has formed the same conclusion that we now form, that this is falling short of serious foul play because of that glancing contact. Because the studs don't really go right into the leg, they glance it before coming down on to the foot."
