Starting XI: How should Liverpool line up against Aston Villa?

By Adam Brown – @AdamMNVi?A hefty defeat at the Etihad has left the Reds requiring 14 points from six games to become centurions as Liverpool welcome Aston Villa on Sunday.Klopp’s side looked good in moments against Manchester City but rarely threatened after the Citizens doubled their lead through Raheem Sterling. While the Reds have already secured the league title, we will be keen to get back to winning ways.Two days rest means there will likely be some rotation ahead of a Wednesday fixture against Brighton which presents a chance to those on the fringes to show why they should be in the starting line up. However, when discussing team selection at the press conference, the Liverpool boss stated that appearances won’t be handed out.“Premier League games are not Christmas presents, it is not like giving appearances away like sweets,” said Klopp.

Here’s how we should line up: One change to the back four sees Alexander-Arnold rested. Neco Williams has looked bright in the majority of his appearances so far this season and should continue his form on Sunday.Andy Robertson keeps his place to avoid losing too much value on the flanks, but the Scotsman will likely sit out against Brighton on Wednesday with James Milner available.An attacking midfield setup should see the return of the Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita partnership. The captain drops into the anchor.Roberto Firmino was withdrawn early against City which means the Brazilian will be ready to start against Villa.Origi comes in for Sadio who looked off the pace at the Etihad. That said, the Senegalese star has been excellent all season, and like many others in the side, probably hasn’t slept much after partying all week.Opportunities for the likes of Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott will be available in the second half with the new five substitutions rule allowing plenty of room for rotation.It’s hard to see past a Liverpool win in this one. The squad will respond after the 4-0 defeat and should step up the intensity against a struggling Aston Villa side.Score prediction: Liverpool 3 – 0 Aston Villa By Adam Brown @AdamMNVi How does Chris think Liverpool will line up?
