Tonight's FA Cup third round tie between Aston Villa and Liverpool will go ahead despite 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.
A tweet on Villa's official account read: "Aston Villa can confirm that the #EmiratesFACup Third Round tie with Liverpool will be played at Villa Park this evening (7.45pm KO)."
