Aston Villa v Liverpool

[Michael Morris]

Boys against men.

ko 7:45pm

Aston Villa have fielded a very inexperienced starting line-up because of the significant Covid-19 outbreak at the club, with nine players and five staff affected.

The XI contains seven under-23 players and four under-18 players.

Aston Villa XI: Onodi, Bridge, Revan, Walker, Rowe, Chrisene, Barry, Kesler, Sylla, Raikhy, Bogarde.

Subs: Zych, Jay-Hart, Sohna, Tait, Rowe, Young, Swinkels, Ealing, Lindley.

Liverpool name a strong starting XI for the tie with forwards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane starting with skipper Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum in midfield.

There are six changes in total from the side that started in the 1-0 defeat by Southampton.

Caoimhin Kelleher makes his fourth appearance for the Reds this season, replacing Alisson in goal.

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, N. Williams, R. Williams, Fabinho, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jones, Mane, Minamino, Salah.

Subs: Alisson, Thiago, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi, Shaqiri, Robertson, Phillips, Alexander-Arnold.

I wonder if a good performance by Neco Williams tonight might see Alexander-Arnold’s place in the Premier League team after the latter’s record breaking performance against Southampton? I think Trent has been well short of the standards he’s set in the last two seasons this year.

I fear for the Villa as Liverpool's title credentials have been under scrutiny lately and will be out to avenge those 7 (seven) conceded goals last meeting.

You'd think Liverpool would have rested a couple more.

Shit manager. Can't get a team of teenagers with no big game experience to smash the PL champions.

What a waste of money spent on Villa's academy they all got cramp , Liverpool were there for the taking .

I wonder if thier parents picked up after the game? It was late.
