Liverpool manager Arne Slot expects Marcus Rashford to 'show his quality' now that he has left Manchester United for Aston Villa.

Rashford was frozen out by Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim from mid-December until he was finally offloaded at the end of the January transfer window.

The 27-year-old has responded with two lively substitute appearances under Unai Emery, with his excellent free-kick rebounding off the crossbar for Ollie Watkins to tap in the equaliser against Ipswich Town at the weekend.

That contribution may have been enough to earn Rashford a start against Liverpool on Wednesday night.

At a time when Amorim is sorely lacking quality in attack, Slot believes they have let go of a player who will show what he is all about from now until the end of the campaign.

"I know Marcus Rashford because I follow the Premier League," said the Dutchman.

The England man could leave his boyhood club permanently in the summer if Villa trigger his £40million buy option.

Although eyes will be on Rashford, Villa have other threats for Liverpool to be wary of ahead of their showdown in the West Midlands.

Emery's side have gone four without a win in the Premier League but Slot refuses to take them lightly.

"When you get the fixture list, you know Villa away is going to be one of the tougher ones," he said.

"They have a very good manager who always has a very good gameplan.

"They have brought in some very good players in the January window and qualified top-eight in the Champions League.
