Liverpool look to cement their place at the top of the Premier League table as they face Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Reds come into the game off the back of a superb 4-0 win against Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and remain unbeaten since mid-September in all competitions.
Arne Slot’s side won their last Premier League game against Brighton 2-1 after goals from Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah handed them three points at Anfield.
Liverpool will be feeling good going into Saturday against Villa as midfielder Harvey Elliot returns from a longstanding injury that he suffered in September, he could be available for selection.
However, Diogo Jota, Allison and Federico Chiesa will all miss the game as they hope to return after the international break which begins on Monday.
They face an Aston Villa side who have lost their last three games in all competitions and will be desperate for three points this weekend as they continue to chase a Champions League spot for the second season in a row.
