The pressure is well and truly on for Liverpool and Arne Slot today as they take on Aston Villa. Alisson Becker should hopefully not be too far away from a return now, but today’s game will surely come too soon for him.

Slot’s assessment of the Dutch international’s fitness on Friday was positive, so we’re predicting that he’ll make an instant return to the line-up.

Moving into the attack, Mohamed Salah takes his usual spot on the right, and if ever there was a time for him to rediscover his best form, it’s now. With Alexander Isak expected to be out injured again, it falls upon Hugo Ekitike to lead the line, and the Frenchman may well have the chance to make that position his own, with Liverpool’s players facing a must-win game today.
