Aston Villa’s FA Cup third-round tie against Liverpool will go ahead regardless of the club recording number of positive cases for coronavirus.

The club closed down their Bodymoor Heath training ground on Thursday after a significant coronavirus outbreak which almost jeopardized their schedule, however, the club has officially confirmed it will go on.

Although Villa is yet to communicate how they managed to turn things around to play in the game yet reports reveal no senior players will be involved.
