Milos Kerkez could use a few games out of the firing line, so this is ideal for Scotland captain Robertson to reaffirm his enduing importance to the cause.Conor Bradley returns at right-back and Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are the centre-halves. A performance and a result are sorely needed.My team (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.Ian DoyleHalloween will be in the past when Liverpool take to the field against Aston Villa on Saturday evening, and the home side will hope the horrors of the last six weeks are now behind them.What, then, is Reds boss Arne Slot to do?

Conor Bradley returns at right-back, and Andy Robertson can get the nod at left-back. Ibrahima Konate and skipper Virgil van Dijk are the centre-backs.Ryan Gravenberch should be fit enough to return in midfield and I'd have Dominik Szoboszlai in alongside him at the base, with Florian Wirtz the number 10.Up top, it's Hugo Ekitike down the centre with Mohamed Salah to his right and Cody Gakpo on the left.My team (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.Theo SquiresAfter naming a much-changed side against Crystal Palace, the big guns return against Aston Villa.

And with Arne Slot facing plenty of scrutiny for resting so many senior stars against the Eagles, he could really do with Liverpool returning to winning ways on Saturday night to ease some of the pressure.Giorgi Mamardashvili returns in goal with Alisson Becker not yet ready to make his comeback from injury, while Conor Bradley starts at right-back.Andy Robertson is the only player from midweek to keep his place, but he can line up in his favoured left-back position on this occasion. Fingers crossed that Saturday is the day that new-look attack finally clicks.My team (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.
