Liverpool have slight injury concerns heading into their Premier League trip to Aston Villa on Wednesday.
Table topping Liverpool beat Wolves 2-1 on Sunday to maintain their seven-point lead over Arsenal but will surely face a much more difficult task against Unai Emery’s side later this week.
Arne Slot could be without Cody Gakpo for the trip to Villa Park, too.
Joe Gomez is expected to miss the trip to Villa Park too, having come off injured during Liverpool’s shock FA Cup defeat at Plymouth.
Tyler Morton is the only other injury concern at this stage, although Curtis Jones is suspended following his red card in the Merseyside derby.
Liverpool predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz, Jota
Doubt: Gakpo
Injured: Gomez, Morton
Suspended: Jones
Time and date: 7.30pm GMT on Wednesday 19 February 2025
Venue: Villa Park, Birmingham
TV channel and live stream: TNT Sports 2 and TNT Sports Ultimate
