Jurgen Klopp must make a big decision on whether to play Fabinho against Aston Villa.
The Liverpool midfielder is one yellow card away from a suspension and should he pick one up at Villa Park, it would rule him out of the first gargantuan clash with Manchester City next weekend at Anfield.
He is of course absolutely vital to the Reds' set-up and the Brazil international has established himself as a midfield mainstay so would naturally be one of the first names on the teamsheet when Pep Guardiola's side come to town.
It therefore leaves Klopp with a decision to make about whether he trusts enforcer Fabinho to play a disciplined game or if the manager decides the Reds have enough to get past Dean Smith's Villains without him anyway which therefore means the risk is not worth it.
In any case, Liverpool fans have sent a message to the German boss not to play Fabinho and instead save him for City's visit to Anfield.
The ECHO ran a poll on Twitter in which thousands of Reds supporters voted simply asking: "Should #LFC start Fabinho at Villa Park?"

The only two options were yes or no and those in favour of dropping Fabinho for Saturday's match was overwhelming.
Almost 70% of fans believe Fabinho shouldn't start.
