Having spent the last two months being behind Arsenal - in terms of Premier League games played, at least - Liverpool now have a chance to go ahead.

And they will want to make the most of it at Aston Villa and claim a 10-point advantage at the summit.

What, then, is Reds boss Arne Slot to do?

There should be changes.

Ibrahima Konate and skipper Virgil van Dijk continue at centre-back, but I'd change the two full-backs, meaning Kostas Tsimikas on the left of the defence and Conor Bradley on the right.

There's also rotation in midfield with Ryan Gravenberch having a rest.

Dominik Szoboszlai stays as the number 10.

Up top, though, it remains Mohamed Salah on the right, Luis Diaz on the left and Diogo Jota down the middle.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Jones, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota

Arne Slot insists his players aren't feeling the effects of a long old season so far and they have the chance to prove that at Villa Park tonight.

It's a first Premier League start of the season for Wataru Endo, who comes in for Alexis Mac Allister.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Endo; Salah, Jones, Diaz; Jota

It’s a huge week for Liverpool as they travel to Aston Villa and Man City back-to-back before hosting Newcastle United

I’d also rest Ryan Gravenberch with one eye on Man City, with Wataru Endo handed a first Premier League start of the season as a result.

Meanwhile, Ibrahima Konate keeps his place at centre-back having avoided a red card against Wolves, while Andy Robertson continues to see off the challenge of Kostas Tsimikas at left-back.
