Liverpool predicted line up vs Aston Villa: Under-pressure Rodgers rings changes with Benteke & Firmino injured

Liverpool predicted line up to take on Aston Villa on Saturday.

A Liverpool predicted line up to take on Aston Villa in this Saturday’s Premier League encounter, with the Reds likely to be much-changed due to injuries…

GK: Simon Mignolet

Liverpool’s first choice in goal, Simon Mignolet should return to the starting line up this weekend despite Adam Bodgan’s penalty-saving heroics in midweek.

DR: Nathaniel Clyne

Yet to really get going for Liverpool, Nathaniel Clyne could do with a strong attacking performance from right-back against Aston Villa this weekend.

DL: Joe Gomez

A hugely impressive youngster, Joe Gomez seems likely to continue at left-back for Liverpool for the visit of Aston Villa to Anfield.

DC: Martin Skrtel

First choice in the Liverpool defence, Martin Skrtel is a guaranteed starter for the Reds in almost every game.

DC: Mamadou Sakho

With some doubts over Dejan Lovren’s fitness, Mamadou Sakho is surely first in line to partner Skrtel at centre-back for Liverpool.

MC: Lucas Leiva

Key for Liverpool so far this season, Lucas Leiva is sure to resume his usual defensive midfield role in the absence of captain Jordan Henderson.

MC: Emre Can

A top young talent, Emre Can could shine in a new midfield role this season and is likely to start against Villa due to Henderson being unavailable.

AMR: James Milner

Moving out wide, James Milner is likely to face his old club this weekend after making a fine start to the season with new employers Liverpool.

AML: Philippe Coutinho

In a free role on the left-hand side, Philippe Coutinho will be a big player for the Reds as they look to get back to winning ways this Saturday.

FC: Daniel Sturridge

Returning to the starting line up could be Daniel Sturridge, who is back to full fitness and who made an appearance in the draw against Norwich City last week.

FC: Danny Ings

With Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino out injured, our Liverpool predicted line up sees two up front for the Reds, with Danny Ings in fine goalscoring form at the moment.
