Liverpool v Aston Villa - confirmed team news
- Published
Only one change for Liverpool from their last league outing - a 1-0 win over Wolves - but it's a curious one.
There's no usual front trio for the Reds, with just Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane the recognised forwards.
Divock Origi is out with an injury and a knock means Diogo Jota only makes the bench,so in comes Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who will likely take up a role in the front three.
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Thiago, Mane, Sala, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Robertson, Matip, Alexander-Arnold
Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Milner, Keita, Gomez, Minamino, Jota, Tsimikas, Williams
Steven Gerrard makes just the one change for his first ever line-up to play at his old stomping ground.
Aston Villa see Emi Buendia drop to the bench from the win over Leicester and in comes Matt Targett.
Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Targett, Konsa, Mings, Luiz, McGinn, Watkins, Young, Nakamba, J Ramsey
Subs: Steer, Sanson, Buendia, Tuanzebe, Trezeguet, Ings, El Ghazi, Hause, Chukwuemeka
