Liverpool will face Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday night in the Premier League, hoping to take maximum points from the match
The Reds recently secured a 3-0 victory over Leicester City, which will keep them upbeat heading into this clash with the Villans.
Jurgen Klopp is expected to start with the same starting XI he used in the previous match, a 4-3-3 predicted XI. So we can expect Cody Gakpo to lead the line, with Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah providing support in the wide areas.
Liverpool Predicted XI vs Aston Villa Defense 4-3-3
Alisson Becker will play between the sticks for the Reds after keeping a clean sheet in his last league appearance. Klopp will once again ask Ibrahima Konate to form a traditional center-half partnership with Virgil Van Dijk at the heart of Liverpool’s backline as they attempt to frustrate the visiting team throughout the 90 minutes.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will continue to play right back, while Andrew Robertson will play left back. Both must defend their lines effectively and create decent goal-scoring opportunities from wide areas.
Kostas Tsimikas and Joe Gomez will be available for selection on the bench, providing defensive cover.
Midfield
Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Curtis Jones will look to establish their superiority over the opposition in the center of the field.
Henderson and Jones must find a way to create a few promising chances in the attacking third for the Reds.
Harvey Elliot will be named to the bench and could have an impact on the game in the second half if Klopp decides to use him.
Attack
Luis Diaz will continue to play on the left flank, while Mohamed Salah hopes to contribute on the right.
Cody Gakpo, as previously stated, will lead the charge for the Merseyside club in the final third. The Dutch forward must find a way to give the opposition a headache.
Darwin Nunez will be available for selection from the bench as he awaits his opportunity to shine in the game’s closing stages if needed.
