Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that goalkeeper Alisson Becker will be out for at least two weeks due to an injury sustained during the match against Manchester City. This news comes as Liverpool enters a busy period with nine games in the next 27 days. Additionally, Diogo Jota is also set for a spell on the sidelines. Caoimhin Kelleher is expected to fill in for Alisson during his absence. Klopp has expressed hope for Alisson's return for the game against Manchester United on December 17. In the Europa League, Liverpool faced LASK with Kelleher starting as the goalkeeper in place of the injured Alisson, and Brighton secured qualification with a win against AEK Athens, with João Pedro scoring a penalty. West Ham also secured a win against Backa Topola, with Tomas Soucek scoring a late goal. Aston Villa had a successful night in the Europa Conference League, with Alex Moreno's goal securing a win and placing them at the top of their group.

HT: #AVFC 1-1 Legia No additional minutes. Strange half, understandable in the circumstances. Villa again started well, got the goal but Kamara's error costly in halting momentum. Moreno has looked sharp with the front two of Duran and Diaby, but Villa need to do more.
