Liverpool have perhaps their biggest test of the season left, when they face Aston Villa on Friday in their penultimate Premier League match of the season. With that in mind, Arne Slot will want to see something different from his side following their dull outing in a draw with Chelsea at the weekend.

With Wirtz overcoming his stomach bug, and me having Isak start, the Dutchman has nowhere to go but backwards on the pitch. Gravenberch will be flying high following his superb goal against Chelsea, but he will need to be at his very best to break up the Villa attacks that will certainly flow in front of their home fans.

He will be tasked with his typical creative duties for this one, and must bring his best form. Salah is a contender to make a return from his hamstring problem, but even if he trains prior to the match, I can't see Slot throwing him straight back into the Starting XI.
