Second placed Liverpool lock horns with Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa midweek in the Premier League with the visitors eyeing a much-needed win to keep their title hopes alive.
Jurgen Klopp’s Merseysiders were held to a 1-1 stalemate by Tottenham Hotspur last time around which allowed Manchester City to open up a three-point gap at the summit.
Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set up his Liverpool side for the upcoming game against Aston Villa –
4-3-3
Alisson Becker would be a certainty to start between the goalposts for the visitors to Villa Park with the Brazil international well poised to retain his starting berth.
Andy Robertson could be in line to be handed a rest ahead of the weekend’s FA Cup showdown at Wembley with Kostas Tsimikas the man to provide cover in the left-back role.
Naby Keita could push for a recall into the first XI but Jurgen Klopp would not be expected to drop in his star midfield names in Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho.
In the attacking third of the pitch, Sadio Mane could be dropping down to the bench with Diogo Jota available to slot in the front three alongside Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz.
