Tonight’s FA Cup third round tie between Aston Villa and Liverpool will go ahead.
The game had been in doubt due to a large number of first team players and staff testing positive for coronavirus at Villa.
It’s expected it will be the home side’s youth team, managed by under-23 coach Mark Delaney, who will take on the Premier League leaders at Villa Park.
Kick off is at 7.45.
Tonight’s other tie will see Wolves entertain Crystal Palace.
