Liverpool are without James Milner and Roberto Firmino as they face Aston Villa this evening.
A hamstring issue led to Milner being withdrawn early from the Carabao Cup defeat at Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp has confirmed the 36-year-old will miss the next couple of games. A calf injury keeps Firmino out.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit and starts after suffering from illness in recent days, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also in the side following his own virus. Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip are the centre-back pairing for the return of Premier League action.
