As for the visitors, while Liverpool might hold an unbeaten run across all domestic competitions and holding a 10 point buffer at the top of the Premier League, it is no surprise that the Reds are expected to suffer their first defeat in midweek. With Head Coach Jurgen Klopp taking all of his first-team squad out to the Club World Cup in Qatar, Under-23s coach Neil Critchley will take charge at Villa Park of a team filled with debutants. With not a recognizable face in Tuesday s matchday squad, the Reds youth outfit have also continued to show some worrying inconsistencies in their Premier League 2 League One campaign.

Literally located upon a hill, Clyde Hill is one square mile of the most beautiful views in the state. Look east, and there are the Cascades. Look south, and there's Mt. Ranier.
