The penultimate Premier League match of the day takes place at Villa Park, where Liverpool are the visitors.

Kick-off is at 17:30 GMT.

Liverpool go into this match 15 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, having played the same number of games.

They’ve also won only once on the road all season, although that did come in their previous away fixture in Gameweek 15.

Jurgen Klopp has made six changes to his side from the Carabao Cup fourth-round loss to Manchester City on Thursday, and it’s more like a first-choice XI from the players he has at his disposal.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit enough to start after illness, taking his place in a pretty much full-strength defence.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joins Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez in the front three.

As for the hosts, Robin Olsen starts in goal in the absence of World Cup-winning Argentina international Emiliano Martinez.

£4.5m midfielder Leon Bailey is again deployed up top by Unai Emery, who has won his first two league matches in charge of Villa.

GAMEWEEK 17 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Olsen, Young, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Luiz, Kamara, McGinn, Buendia, Watkins, Bailey.

Subs: Marschall, Cash, Ings, Chambers, Bednarek, Coutinho, Dendoncker, Archer, K Young.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Thiago, Henderson, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Salah, Nunez.

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Keita, Elliott, Tsimikas, Carvalho, Bajcetic, Phillips, Doak.

    Nunez approaching the World Record for one game misses!

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

      Should be nowhere near the Premier League…. Absolute fraud stealing a living as a footballer never mind a striker.

    Opposition fans taunt Liverpool by chanting your just a sh** andy caroll.
    I find this extremely offensive. The lad from the north east looks like pele in comparison to this clown

  23. Chalobah's Witness

    Darwin Darwin Nunez he came from Benfica to the big Reds

  24. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    The number of times Nunez drags the ball wide.. he must practice that in training

  25. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Klopp probably can't wait to have Jota back. Only 6-7 more gameweeks to go

  26. Zidane's Floor
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I'm 100% holding Nunez - he is a gold mine of opportunities

    Just sad he's almost certain to drop in price

    Oh well
