Liverpool will be out for revenge against Aston Villa
Liverpool's last outing in the Premier League produced a fantastic 3-0 win away at Arsenal and Klopp will be hoping that momentum continues despite his side losing in midweek against Real Madrid. A win for the hosts could see them move back into the top four this weekend, though, Liverpool would need a number of other results to go in their favour for that to happen. Henderson, Matip, Gomez, Kelleher, van Dijk and Origi have all been ruled out of the game against Aston Villa due to injury.
Aston Villa will be full of confidence heading into this weekend's clash with Liverpool after they came from behind to secure a 3-1 home win over Fulham last time out. However, wins have been hard to come by for Aston Villa of late, with the visitors winning just two of their last six outings in the Premier League. Wesley remains sidelined for Aston Villa and there are slight concerns over Jack Grealish who has been feeling some discomfort in his shin.
