Aston Villa preview: Only two wins from last six
The Aston Villa faithful were left disappointed by their side at the weekend following a 1-1 draw at home to Ipswich.
Not only were Aston Villa expected to win this game, but the visitors were reduced to ten men five minutes before the break with the game still goalless. Liam Delap managed to fire Ipswich in front in the 56th minute and although Ollie Watkins did equalise for Villa in the 69th minute, the home side failed to carve out a winning goal and had to settle for a point.
Pau Torres, Matty Cash, Amadou Onana, Ezri Konsa, Ross Barkley, Leon Bailey and Boubacar Kamara make up the list of injury concerns for Villa ahead of the Liverpool game.
Predicted lineup: Martínez (GK), Digne, Disasi, García, McGinn, Tielemans, Mings, Ramsey, Watkins, Malen & Rogers
