Arne Slot’s Liverpool registered a thumping 4-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League in their last game. With this win, they are sitting on the top of the points table. Interestingly, they are also atop of the Premier League table.
The Reds have their next battle against Aston Villa at home in the domestic league this Sunday. It goes without saying that they will aim to secure all three points. A win will help them remain the table topper before the international break kicks in.
4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Aston Villa
Defence
Caoimhin Kelleher remains the undisputed pick to operate between the sticks in the absence of Alisson Becker, who is out due to a thigh injury. Fair to say that the former is doing a decent job so far. No surprise at the right-back position as Trent Alexander-Arnold continues.
Arne Slot has no reason to change the centre-back duo of Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk. While Konstantinos Tsimikas got some games as the left-back, Andy Robertson is expected to return for this clash.
Midfield
Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch retain their respective spots in the midfield unit. However, Curtis Jones might be unlucky to make way for Dominik Szoboszlai as the attacking midfielder.
Attack
Mohamed Salah is a guaranteed pick in the attacking line. However, the three of Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez will be fighting for the remaining two spots.
While Luis Diaz could be retained due to his impressive performances in recent times, Cody Gakpo might be swapped for Darwin Nunez. Whatever happens, the Reds will have an electrifying front three.
Harvey Elliott (foot), Federico Chiesa (fitness), Alisson Becker (thigh) and Diogo Jota (abdominal) are notable absentees for this game.
