Latest Liverpool vs Aston Villa team information
Liverpool have received some good news amid the gloomy days. After the defeat to Crystal Palace, manager Arne Slot confirmed that midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is likely to recover from an ankle injury in time to play this weekend.
However, Alexander Isak (groin) and Curtis Jones (groin) remain doubtful, while Alisson Becker (hamstring), Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) and Giovanni Leoni (anterior cruciate ligament rupture) are all but certain to miss out, including the upcoming Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
Young defender Amara Nallo is suspended due to his red card in midweek, although he is not 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).
As for Aston Villa, coach Unai Emery cannot use Harvey Elliott – a player on Liverpool's payroll – due to loan terms, although he was not registered in the win over Man City.
The visitors could be without two more creative players: Emiliano Buendia suffered a foot injury last weekend (the extent of which is unknown), while Youri Tielemans (calf) and Andres Garcia (injury unknown) are certain to miss out.
Buendia’s absence will open up a fierce competition between Jadon Sancho and Donyell Malen for the starting spot in attack. Sancho replaced Buendia against Man City but was also taken off early – the cause was determined to be fitness issues rather than form.
Latest expected lineup for Liverpool vs Aston Villa
Liverpool:
Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike
Aston Villa:

Latest football commentary on Liverpool vs Aston Villa
The 5-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League seemed to have opened a new beginning for Liverpool, but in reality, the poor form in the domestic arena still shows no signs of stopping.
If before that, coach Arne Slot's team was only in a "yellow alert" state, then the defeat to Brentford in the Premier League and the loss to Crystal Palace in the League Cup - despite having a squad consisting of many reserve players and young stars - pushed the "Red Brigade" deeper into crisis.
Many Liverpool writers have suggested that Slot’s midweek lineup suggests he is “intentionally 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 “fired” could become more and more common.
Liverpool are currently 7th in the 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 5 consecutive top-flight games (1953).
Of Liverpool’s last seven defeats, only one has come 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 side are enjoying the best days of the 2025-26 season. After a disastrous start to the summer, Aston Villa are now on the longest winning streak in the Premier League.
Fulham, Burnley, Tottenham and most recently Manchester City have all been defeated by Villa. In the 1-0 win over champions Man City last weekend, defender Matty Cash scored the only goal to help “The Lions” rise to 8th place – equal on points with Liverpool but with a lower goal difference.
The surprise defeat to Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League midweek was largely due to Emery’s rotation, but after failing to score in the opening four games of the season, Villa have now scored in nine consecutive games in all competitions.
Despite their current form, playing away from home against the reigning champions remains a nightmare for Aston Villa. They have lost all 11 of their last away games against Premier League title holders, and have won just one of their last 30 games in that group – a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in December 2009.
Villa have also not won in seven games at Anfield since their last win in September 2014 – when Gabby Agbonlahor scored the only goal to give them all three points. However, with Liverpool in recent form, many believe that run could end this weekend.
