Key Men

Liverpool

Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez will have to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for the Merseyside club in the final third. The performance of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai could go a long way in determining the fate of this clash at Anfield.

Aston Villa

Both Diego Carlos and Pau Torres need to be at their best if the Villans are to restrict the home team from scoring this weekend.

Moussa Diaby and Ollie Watkins would be instructed to use their pace wisely on the counter and cause a lot of headaches for the Liverpool centre-backs.
