Liverpool vs Aston Villa lineups, team news

Jurgen Klopp perhaps unsurprisingly has stuck with the same starting XI that demolished Leicester City last time out.

There is a place on the bench for the fit-again Roberto Firmino as well as James Milner as they say farewell to Anfield, but Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain both miss out.

Liverpool lineup (4-3-3): Alisson(GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson — Henderson, Fabinho, Jones — Salah, Gakpo, Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Milner, Firmino, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Carvalho, Matip.

Unai Emery has opted to make three changes to the team that beat Tottenham last time out, with Matty Cash and Lucas Digne coming in on either side of defence.

The Spaniard has also added heft to his midfield in replacing playmaker Emi Buendia with Boubacar Kamara.

Aston Villa lineup (4-5-1): Martinez(GK) — Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne — Bailey, McGinn, Luiz, Kamara Ramsey — Watkins

Liverpool vs Aston Villa prediction, betting odds

Liverpool need to win their remaining two games of the season to stand a chance of overhauling Manchester United or Newcastle United in the top-four race, with the final weekend of the season a potential decider for fourth place.

Klopp's side are unbeaten at home in the Premier League since the start of 2023, with Villa without a win away from home in their past three outings, and they have not won at Anfield since 2014.

Prediction: Liverpool to win 1-0
