Red alert for Villans

THEIR work here may seem done, but Liverpool still have an important role to play in deciding the fate of those at the opposite end of the Premier League table.

The ‘hangover defeat’ to Citeh came as a surprise to many.

Let’s face it, you couldn’t really imagine former glorious Kop teams containing Dalglish and Souness seeming to capitulate so easily.

So that may mean it’s a red alert for Villa today.

The misfiring Midlanders need to find some ammunition and get players such as striker Mbwana

Samatta setting hearts aflutter from Ladywood to Dar Es Salaam.

Jurgen Klopp will demand his champions redeem themselves – and that suggests an Anfield goalfest.

Poor old Villa will also have to bear the full force of Man Utd’s march on Europe on Thursday night too – so expect more net-bulgers.

Few would now give Norwich a canary’s chance in a coalmine after yesterday’s 1-0 defeat and the dropzone

drama will be unremitting and probably bruising – not least when they meet fellow relegation-battlers Watford on Tuesday evening.

That will be followed by a home battle against the Hammers, who surprised many with their resilient and spirited victory over Chelsea.

Don’t expect Saturday’s match to be without goals. They’re coming fast and furious – and points mean that most valued prize of... survival.
