📰 Team News: Liverpool

There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Liverpool gaffer Jürgen Klopp to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. Ben Woodburn (Fractured Foot) is out of contention.

In our view, The Reds look set to use a 4-3-3 formation in the match and select Alisson, Andrew Robertson, Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Naby Keita, Fabinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

📰 Team News: Aston Villa

In an otherwise available group, there is only the one fitness problem for the Aston Villa gaffer Dean Smith to be concerned with. Lovre Kalinic (Thigh Problems) won’t be in action.

We reckon that The Villans could decide to make use of a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for Ørjan Håskjold Nyland, Ezri Konsa, Kortney Hause, Tyrone Mings, Neil Taylor, John McGinn, Marvelous Nakamba, Douglas Luiz, Anwar El-Ghazi, Keinan Davis and Jack Grealish.

💭 Prediction

We feel that Liverpool are likely to dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

At the same time, Aston Villa could well find it tough finding the net themselves although we do reckon that they could well end up hitting back at some stage.

We’re therefore anticipating a decent 3-1 winning score for Liverpool when the full-time whistle blows.
