Aston Villa vs Liverpool: Slot’s Surprise Change as Reds Target 10-Point Lead Over Arsenal

Okay, I need to shorten the user’s content to about 650 words and add some pictures. Let me start by looking through the original HTML provided.

First, there’s a lot of stuff that’s not the main article—like meta tags, stylesheets, ads, scripts, and author info. The actual article content seems to be within the div with itemprop=”articleBody”. But when I check that, it only has a paragraph about following the live blog. Then there’s a share section and some other divs, but no real article body. Wait, maybe the user made a mistake? The html includes a live blog setup, but the main text is missing. Because the user mentioned “rewrite with shorten this content”, perhaps the provided HTML is just the surrounding structure, and the actual article content is a live blog that’s loaded dynamically. But since the user can’t provide the live blog content, maybe they just want the existing text condensed.

Looking again, the main content is the intro paragraph: “Follow Mail Sport’s live blog…” and the headline in the share section. The rest is ads and scripts. But 650 words would require summarizing the live blog updates, which aren’t present here. Maybe the user intended to include the live blog entries, but they aren’t in the HTML. Without the live blog’s content, it’s hard to shorten to 650 words. Maybe the user provided an example structure and expects me to create a condensed version, assuming the content? Or perhaps the initial HTML is an example, and the actual task is to process similar content.

Alternatively, perhaps the user wants to remove all the unnecessary HTML tags, scripts, ads, keep the core content, shorten it, and add pictures. The existing content is very short, though. Let me check the initial length. The text inside the HTML includes the headline, authors, timestamp, and the live blog invitation. So perhaps the user is sharing the framework of an article and wants it condensed? But even then, the current text is way below 650 words. Maybe there’s an error, or the provided HTML is incomplete.

Wait, in the problem statement, the user says “rewrite with shorten this content to about 650 words” but the original content might be longer. However, in the given HTML, the main body is very brief. Maybe this is a placeholder or a test. If I go by what’s given, the actual article text is minimal. But since the user wants it shortened to 650 words and adding pictures, perhaps they meant that the original content (not shown here) is longer, and this HTML has the structure but not the body. Maybe a misunderstanding. Alternatively, the user wants the provided code to be condensed, which is mostly HTML structure, but that’s not meaningful.

Alternatively, perhaps the user wants the article text that’s in the HTML to be condensed. The main text is:

– “Follow Mail Sport’s live blog of Aston Villa vs Liverpool as the Reds bid to move ten points clear at the top of the Premier League as they travel to Villa Park.”

– The headline: “Aston Villa v Liverpool – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Arne Slot makes surprising change as runaway leaders bid to move TEN points clear of Arsenal at the Premier League summit.”

Given that, the rest is boilerplate. To reach 650 words, I need to expand or perhaps the user intended to include the live blog content which wasn’t part of the HTML. There might be a mistake in the input. But assuming that the user wants to take the existing text and structure, remove the unnecessary code, keep the main content, shorten it to 650 words, and add image placeholders. Since the original content is already short, maybe the user wants a live blog summary? For example, take snapshots of key moments in the match and summarize them. The starting point is minimal, so I may have to create a sample summary based on typical match reports.

Alternatively, the user perhaps made an error in pasting the HTML, missing the actual article content. Without the actual article, I can’t proceed accurately. But proceeding with what’s given, perhaps I need to infer
