Latest Liverpool vs Aston Villa team news
Liverpool received some good news amidst gloomy days. Following their defeat to Crystal Palace, manager Arne Slot confirmed that midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is likely to recover from his ankle injury and be available for this weekend's match.
However, Alexander Isak (groin) and Curtis Jones (groin) remain doubtful for return, while Alisson Becker (hamstring), Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring), and Giovanni Leoni (anterior cruciate ligament rupture) are definitely out, including for the upcoming Champions League match against Real Madrid.
Young defender Amara Nallo is suspended due to a red card received midweek, even though he wasn't actually in the starting lineup.
One of the most anticipated names, Mohamed Salah, is now just one goal or assist away from Wayne Rooney's record. If he contributes one more goal, Salah will equal the record.276 contributionsfor a Premier League club (Rooney – Manchester United).
On Aston Villa's side, manager Unai Emery was unable to use Harvey Elliott – a Liverpool player – due to a loan clause, even though he wasn't registered for the win against Man City.
The visiting team could be without two more creative players: Emiliano Buendia suffered a foot injury last weekend (severity unclear), while Youri Tielemans (calf) and Andres Garcia (injury unspecified) are definitely out.
Buendia's absence will open up intense competition between Jadon Sancho and Donyell Malen for a starting spot in attack. Sancho came on as a substitute for Buendia in the match against Man City but also had to leave the field early – the reason identified was fitness issues rather than form.

Latest football match prediction: Liverpool vs Aston Villa
The 5-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League seemed to have opened a new chapter for Liverpool, but in reality, their poor form in domestic competitions shows no sign of stopping.
If previously Arne Slot's team was only in a "yellow alert" state, the defeat against Brentford in the Premier League and the loss to Crystal Palace in the League Cup – even with a squad consisting of many reserve players and young stars – have pushed the "Reds" deeper into crisis.
Many Liverpool pundits believe Slot's midweek starting lineup shows he's "deliberately giving up" on the League Cup. However, if the 2024-25 Premier League champions don't quickly improve their results against Aston Villa and Real Madrid in the coming days, the word "sack" could be mentioned more and more often.
Liverpool currently sit 7th in the league table, 7 points behind leaders Arsenal. Ironically, the number "7" continues to haunt them: it has been 72 years since the Merseyside club last lost five consecutive matches in the top flight (in 1953).
Of Liverpool's last seven defeats, only one came at home in the Premier League. However, even so, they are still the team with the worst run of form in the league – a stark contrast to their upcoming opponents.
Unai Emery's team is enjoying its best days of the 2025-26 season. After a disastrous start to the summer, Aston Villa now holds the longest winning streak in the Premier League.
Fulham, Burnley, Tottenham, and most recently Manchester City have all fallen victim to Villa. In their 1-0 victory over champions Man City last weekend, defender Matty Cash scored the only goal, helping "The Lions" climb to eighth place – level on points with Liverpool but with an inferior goal difference.
The unexpected defeat to Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League midweek was largely due to manager Emery rotating the squad. However, after failing to score in their first four games of the season, Villa have now found the net in nine consecutive matches across all competitions.
Despite their current excellent form, playing away against the reigning champions remains a nightmare for Aston Villa. They have lost all 11 of their most recent away games against Premier League champions, and have only won 1 of their last 30 matches in this group – a 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford in December 2009.
At Anfield, Villa have also gone seven games without a win since their last victory in September 2014 – when Gabby Agbonlahor scored the only goal to secure all three points. However, given Liverpool's current form, many believe that this forgettable run could end this weekend.
