Aston Villa's FA Cup third round tie against Liverpool will go ahead on Friday evening after the Villans' makeshift squad all returned negative coronavirus tests.
The clash had been thrown into serious doubt after the club's entire first team bubble - including manager Dean Smith and his staff - were forced into isolation after a 'large number' of cases were reported.
That left the Premier League outfit scrambling to put a team together, with a group of Under-23 and Under-18 players assembled to take on Jurgen Klopp's champions.

Each member of the hastily assembled squad, which will be led by Under 23s boss Mark Delaney at Villa Park, was tested for the virus on Thursday, with results fast-tracked on Friday morning.
