Villa was again injury before Wednesday’s game, with Boubacar Kamara missing the next two weeks because a muscle complaint had left out of the first hour against Ipswich.
Kamara had filled in the heart of Villa’s defense, with Unai Emery currently without Pau Torres and potentially Ezri Konsa for Liverpool’s visit. Matty Cash and Leon Bailey are doubts, while Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana are already ruled out.
Tyrone Mings is fit and available for hosts, however, and will be on the bottom line next to the new arrival Axel Disasi. Marcus Rashford could also start at the club.
Aston Villa predicted the Liverpool vs line (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Garcia, Journey, Mings, Digna; Tilemans, McGinn; Rogers, Rogers, Rashford; Watkins.
Slot has confirmed that Cody Gakpo will be missing back For visitors after taking a blow to the derby. The Dutchman is a great lady given the shape he has shown in front of the goal of this term.
Joe Gomez is also willing to another spell on the sidelines, while Tyler Morton deals with a shoulder injury.
Curtis Jones is eligible to return from his brief suspension and could be found in the initial program if the manager chooses to turn before the Sunday match at Etihad.
Liverpool predicted the line against Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Diaz; Núñez.
The Liverpool has a recent recording record against the Villans, and although on Wednesday night they are without the second highest scorer Gakpo, visitors should be very happy against a weakened defense of the town.
Kamara is a great lady in the middle of the park, with the Frenchman playing an important role of anchor for Emery before being forced to the Villa bottom line. Reds should be able to enjoy control periods in a hard environment, increasing their victory possibilities.
After passing the Sunday game against the wolves after the derby, wait for visitors to perform much more calm performance. We have already seen them win victories in Brentford and Bournemouth on New Year.
