Arne Slot is facing criticism for his team selection against Aston Villa, after leaving Florian Wirtz out of the starting line-up. Wirtz has struggled for form since joining the Reds from Bayer Leverkusen for a huge transfer fee during the summer, but many supporters still expected him to line up against Villa at Anfield — particularly after he sat out Wednesday's loss to Crystal Palace.

Alexis Mac Allister, who has struggled for form and fitness in recent months, played 67 minutes of the loss to Palace, but has kept his place in the starting line-up at the expense of Wirtz. Now we start Mac Allister again today when he clearly needs time out of the team and bench Wirtz .
