Summary: Aston Villa - Liverpool 3:1 (Sport1)
The celebration of the end of the civil year games in the Premier League continues tonight (Friday) with the meeting between West Ham and Brentford and Liverpool will try to maintain the momentum also against Leicester at the start of the 18th round.
An intriguing meeting.

Liverpool - Leicester
The Reds will be able to record a fourth consecutive victory if they manage to beat the foxes of Brendan Rogers, ex-club, this for the first time this season in the league.
Cody Gakpo who signed this week in the club's uniform is not yet registered as a player and will only be able to be registered in Jurgen Klopp's squad when the transfer window opens on 1.1.
On the other hand, Leicester recorded a 3:0 loss in the previous round against Newcastle and remained at the bottom of the table.
Liverpool will be hoping to maintain their impressive home run against the Foxes - unbeaten at Anfield against Leicester since 2000. The German coach made one change from the squad that beat Aston Villa, with Harvey Elliott starting at Fabinho's expense.
Roberto Firmino is still out of the squad.
On the other hand, James Madison is ineligible and will be greatly missed by Rogers who had to improvise with no less than four other injured defensive players.

West Ham - Brentford (21:45, Sport2)
The London derby will bring together the Hammers, who have never beaten Brentford in the First League, and the team from tenth place in the table, who have not lost in their last four games, at the Olympic Stadium.
West Ham is in a difficult season, precisely after the tremendous success of the past season, when it is ranked 16th with only four wins and a streak of four losses.
The guest lost a double advantage against Tottenham in the last round and registered only two victories in the last ten rounds in the Premier League.
Gianluca Scamacca may return to David Moyes' squad after an injury he sustained at the start of the World Cup break.
