• Date: Saturday, 01 November 2025

• Venue: Anfield

Liverpool's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with four losses in their last five games. They'll be desperate to turn things around at home, where they previously managed a win against Everton. Expect them to come out firing, looking to exploit their attacking options like Salah and Ekitiké. But they'll need to be solid at the back to stop Villa's in-form attackers.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, are flying high with four wins and a draw in their last five. They've shown they can beat the big teams, like Manchester City and Tottenham. Villa will fancy their chances of nicking a result at Anfield, especially with Watkins leading the line. It could be a tight, entertaining affair with both teams going for it.

Liverpool's recent form has been poor, with four losses in their last five games. The only bright spot was a 2-1 win against Everton at home. They'll need to tighten up at the back, having conceded three goals against Brentford and two each against Manchester United, Chelsea, and Crystal Palace. If they can find their attacking rhythm again, they might just turn things around against Villa.

• Predicted lineup: Mamardashvili (GK), Bradley (DF), van Dijk (DF), Konaté (DF), Kerkez (DF), Jones (if fit) (MF), Szoboszlai (MF), Salah (MF), Wirtz (MF), Gakpo (MF), Ekitiké (AT)

Liverpool will rely on their attacking quartet of Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, and Ekitiké to break down Villa's defence. With several key players out injured, the midfield duo of Szoboszlai and Jones will need to control the game and provide the necessary support.

• Predicted lineup: Martínez (GK), Cash (DF), Konsa (DF), Torres (DF), Digne (DF), Kamara (MF), Onana (MF), McGinn (MF), Rogers (MF), Buendía (if fit) (MF), Watkins (AT)

Aston Villa's defence, led by Konsa and Torres, will be crucial in stopping Liverpool's attacking threats. In midfield, Kamara and Onana will need to dominate possession and feed the ball to the dangerous Watkins up front.

• Mo Salah vs Lucas Digne: Salah's pace and movement will test Digne's defensive skills on Villa's left flank.

• Cody Gakpo vs John McGinn: Gakpo's creativity in midfield will be up against McGinn's tenacity and work rate.

• Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool): Szoboszlai's ability to control the midfield and create chances will be vital for Liverpool's success.

• Boubacar Kamara (Aston Villa): Kamara's defensive solidity and ball-winning ability in midfield will be key for Villa's game plan.
