Buoyed by a terrific 2-1 win over Newcastle United, Liverpool will look to stay in the Champions League berth when they take on Aston Villa at their Anfield.
The Reds came from behind to beat the Magpies with ten men on the field and they must be brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Villa.
Towering centre-back Virgil Van Dijk is banned for the match, while centre-forward Darwin Nunez is pushing for a start after scoring a brace at the weekend.
Both Ibrahima Konate and Curtis Jones should be fit for the match, while Thiago Alcantara remain in the treatment room.
The Villans, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Burnley, but given Liverpool’s excellent display in the triumph over Newcastle, home win should be considered this time out.
The likes of Ramsey, Buendia, Dendoncker, Iroegbunam, Mings, and Coutinho are injured for the visiting team, but first-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez should recover in time to face Jurgen Klopp’s troops.
This match will be played on 03/09/2023 at 14:00
Prediction: 2-1
