Liverpool XI vs Aston Villa: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Premier League match

Jurgen Klopp will revert to a familiar starting line-up when Liverpool resume their Premier League title push at Aston Villa on Saturday.

The German made 11 changes to his team for the midweek visit of Arsenal to Anfield in the Carabao Cup, with a largely inexperienced team coming out on top in a penalty shootout after a remarkable 5-5 draw.

However, Liverpool's rested stars will return as they look to sustain a six-point lead over Manchester City at the top ahead of the sides facing each other in a mouthwatering clash next weekend.

Joel Matip's continued absence means Dejan Lovren is set to keep his place in central defence, but the Reds will otherwise be at full strength in Birmingham.

Fabinho is walking a disciplinary tightrope knowing that one more booking will see him sit out the next match, but Klopp will find it nearly impossible to leave out a midfielder whose importance has only grown in the last six months.
