A date for Aston Villa's FA Cup Third Round tie with Liverpool has now been confirmed.

Dean Smith's side will face the Premier League champions at 7:45pm on Friday, January 8 at Villa Park. 

The fixture has been selected for live broadcast on BT Sport. 

Villa will be aiming to produce another top performance against Jürgen Klopp's men, following their incredible 7-2 victory back in October when Ollie Watkins (3), John McGinn, Ross Barkley and Jack Grealish (2) were all on target.
