Matchday LIVE: Liverpool seek to keep Premier League title race alive at Aston Villa & Barca face Celta Vigo in La Liga

It's all over - after a dozen minutes of injury time at Camp Nou, and Barcelona are comfortable winners in the end.A Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang double either side of the break is more than enough for the Blaugrana though their result is overshadowed by Ronald Araujo's injury.Onwards and upwards for Xavi, while Celta Vigo must lick their wounds.

FT: Barca 3-1 Celta

Barca confirm Araujo concussion

Yes they can! Liverpool hold their nerve across an agonising period of injury time - and come away with another win to keep their Premier League dream alive!Sadio Mane - who else? - is the man of the hour after his second-half header seals a comeback win for Jurgen Klopp's men against former Reds legend Steven Gerrard and his Aston Villa hosts.It means Liverpool move back to the summit - level on points, but behind Manchester City on goal difference, with the latter still to play this week.Your move, Pep.

FT: Villa 1-2 Liverpool

In slightly less dramatic stakes, we are underway in La Liga too.Can Barcelona increase their hold on second? Or will Xavi and company fall to their visitors at Camp Nou?Here we go!

So, it is job done for Jurgen Klopp and company - a result that ultimately is the least they could do to stay in the hunt.A bigger margin of victory may well have been the boost they needed, but arguably such a point is moot until - or more likely, unless - Manchester City slip up.Still, they head home with the dream still burning bright.

Share the love

Well, these are scenes that nobody likes to see. An ambulance is on the pitch and has been brought for Ronald Araujo.Let us hope that whatever the issue is, it is not as serious as feared. We send our thoughts and best wishes to him, his family and his team-mates.

Ambulance on at Camp Nou

As Liverpool attempt to cling on for three points, there's worrying scenes at Camp Nou, where Barcelona's Ronald Araujo has gone down and is being attended to by medics.The Blaugrana man looked to have an accidental clash with team-mate Gavi, and has dropped to the turf.Let us hope it is not as bad as feared.

Araujo down injured

There's going to be four minutes of injury time at Villa Park - and maybe more, as Liverpool try every trick they can to take the sting out of this game.Steven Gerrard certainly has not suggested split loyalties today against the club where he is a hero. But can his side find one final response to break their hearts?Or can the Reds cling on for a crucial victory?

Reds hanging on for a hero

RED CARD: Barca 3-1 Celta

What an absolute rocket from Danny Ings, slammed into the far side of the net from the right flank!Liverpool are very, very lucky that the England man was offside there. The goal will not stand.The Reds are clinging onto this one all of a sudden.

DISALLOWED GOAL: Villa 1-2 Liverpool

Disaster at the back for Barca!That is a bit of awful defensive work from the Blaugrana, as they let the ball out from the back run loose and Celta Vigo pounce on the error.Iago Aspas nabs the finish and the hosts see their sturdy lead chipped into. Is the comeback on?

GOAL: Barca 3-1 Celta

Game, set and match - surely! - to the Blaugrana!Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be at the double today, as the forward snatches a second with a smooth finish to tuck home Ousmane Dembele's delivery in the box.The home fans are purring with content at that one.

GOAL: Barca 3-0 Celta

The teams are back out at Camp Nou too now for the second half. Barcelona look confident. Celta Vigo look pensive.Can the Blaugrana see this one out, hassle-free? Or will their visitors spring a surprise?

COMETH THE HOUR, COMETH THE MANE!Sadio Mane puts Liverpool ahead to send the contingent of Reds fans at Villa Park absolutely bonkers.It's a superbly weighted header from distance, flicked across Emi Martinez after the forward reaches for Luis Diaz's excellent cross.

GOAL: Villa 1-2 Liverpool

There goes the whistle at Camp Nou and it is a first half well done in the end for the hosts.Barcelona took their time to impose themselves on this game, but they will surely strengthen their hold on second now if things stay like this.Celta Vigo need to rally for a result.

HT: Barca 2-0 Celta

Now we're cooking with gas!Barcelona double their lead and it is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who gets himself on the scoresheet.The former Arsenal man takes advantage of Celta's failure to clear a Depay cross and bundles home.

Just vibes, man

The teams are back out under the bright lights in the Midlands as dusk creeps over Villa Park.Liverpool have 45 minutes to find a winner - and ensure it stays that way.Here we go again.

Back underway at Villa Park

There's the breakthrough Barcelona crave!Memphis Depay is the man to supply the opener at Camp Nou and the stadium comes alive once more in response to his touch.The Netherlands international sweeps a lovely finish in, set up by the blistering pace of Ousmane Dembele.

GOAL: Barca 1-0 Celta

There's not been too much to write home about at Camp Nou so far, but that has not stopped the Barcelona faithful from raising their voice.Their side may need it - it has not been the most convincing performance so far from the hosts.Celta Vigo look like they've got some beans about them, given the goalless deadlock.

We briefly touched pre-match on Manchester City's injury woes, but if Fabinho - the beating engine room of Liverpool's charge in 2022 - is out, then that is a major worry.With key finals at home and abroad to come, it could be a bigger blow than many realise.Is his loss a major problem for Jurgen Klopp?

Calm before the storm

So, then. Three games to go - and three games for Liverpool to keep this title race alive.It is of course out of their hands - a draw with Tottenham at the weekend left Klopp's quadruple-chasing Reds three points off the pace of City, and looking at the one that got away.But their biggest rivals are in the midst of a nightmare defensive crisis with injury and face a suprisingly tricky road to the finish line. They couldn't... could they?

A time for heroes

It's not a busy schedule today - and one game has a lot more at stake than another - but we've got two tasty treats for you to get your teeth stuck into.Liverpool must win against Aston Villa to move level with Manchester City - and defeat could leave them six points adrift with two games to go.Barcelona meanwhile are merely playing to stay second in La Liga - but they'll face a stern test in Celta Vigo, who are seeking a big scalp as they look to continue their run-in to the season on a high.Today's order of play is as follows:2000/1500/1200: Aston Villa v Liverpool 2030/1530/1230: Barcelona v Celta Vigo(All times BST/EST/PT)
