Liverpool vs Aston Villa Lineups and Last Match
Liverpool
Liverpool had to come from a goal and a man down to defeat one of their rivals for the Champions League places this season, Newcastle, last weekend. Former Toffee Gordon opened the scoring for Newcastle and shortly after this, van Dijk was shown a straight red card. Newcastle failed to make the most of this advantage though and 77th-minute substitute Darwin Nunez came on to score twice late on to win the game for the Reds. Konate, Thiago and Jones are the three main injury concerns for the hosts this weekend, while van Dijk is suspended.
Predicted Lineup – Alisson (GK), Matip, Gomez, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Núñez & Díaz
Aston Villa
Aston Villa made the trip to newly-promoted Burnley last time out where two early goals from full-back Matty Cash set the Midlanders on their way to a comfortable 3pts. Burnley pulled a goal back in the 47th-minute but a goal from Diaby just after the hour-mark after good work from Digne restored the visitors' 2-goal advantage and Villa held on to collect a deserved 3pts. Villa could be without the services of Buendia, Mings, Ramsey, Denoncker, Coutinho, Martinez, Moreni and Iroegbunam, though, there is a chance that a few will pass late fitness tests.
Predicted Lineup – Olsen (GK), Digne, Carlos, Torres, Konsa, Cash, McGinn, Kamara, Luiz, Watkins & Diaby

Player to Watch: Darwin Nunez
Liverpool paid a lot of money for Nunez last season and the Uruguayan notched 9 league goals in 29 appearances for the club in 2022/23.
The 24-year-old has featured in each of Liverpool's opening three matches but it wasn't until last time out against Newcastle that he really made his mark. Nunez came off the bench late on against the Magpies to score twice and win the game for the visitors against the odds.
With that in mind, we're expecting a confident performance from the former Benfica man this weekend when Liverpool hosts Aston Villa.
