Two clubs in the top half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Liverpool and Aston Villa. The first-division clash scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET will be held at Anfield Stadium in Aston Villa and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC.
Liverpool's Suso had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Liverpool Echo): "I look at him [Brendan Rodgers] and I see him as similar to a Spanish coach. All the work we do in training is with the ball. Every time he asks us to do something, it's with the ball. He wants us to play with the ball, never play a long ball and for me that's really good because that's my philosophy. When I go away with Spain, it's more or less the same."
"He has done really well since he came here," he added. "When he first came, he had to change some things and improve the team, which takes a long time, but now we can see all the things he was working with in the past is working now."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Aston Villa's Andreas Weimann has been instrumental in the club's early season success. The 23-year-old has two goals and an assist in three appearances.
