Liverpool line up confirmed as Jurgen Klopp makes Fabinho decision

Fabinho drops to the substitutes' bench for Liverpool as they take on Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.

The Brazil international is one booking away from a Premier League suspension and Jurgen Klopp has rested the defensive midfielder with Manchester City to visit Anfield next Sunday.

It means Adam Lallana steps into midfield alongside captain Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah has shaken off an ankle problem to take his place on the right of a front three alongside Roberto Frimino and Sadio Mane.

Dejan Lovren returns to the side after sitting out Wednesday night's 5-5 draw with Arsenal in the Carabao Cup as he partners Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defence.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson; Lallana, Wijnaldum, Henderson; Salah, Mane, Firmino.
