Liverpool v Aston Villa pre-match thread

[VillaTim]

I'd love it , love it if we went there and won.
So let's do it COYVB's

[Garyth]

Obviously they will get an injury time equaliser/winner though a dodgy decision after Salah runs through and falls over in the box.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Not an easy match, and given the Newcastle result I am wary of this one. A point would be a good result, but would be delighted with a win.

Main thing is that we finish the game looking like we can compete with the teams in the title mix. I think we will, and we win 2-1

[N'ZMAV]

it won't be 0-0, that's all.

[RamboandBruno]

Ive gone for 3-1 earlier in the thread, but am really wary of their forward players. Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Jota is probably as good as it gets and is Gapko also fit now?

Also our  newish looking defence is still bedding in.

Saying that, I really think their defence can be got at and we have the players to do it. If Dougie, McGinn and Kamara dominate the middle, I still think we can do this.

[Clampy]

What I like about this manager of ours is not knowing for certain what formation or team he'll put out. Will he leave it unchanged from last week? Will he put Bailey back in or does he have something else up his sleeve? It's quite refreshing really. Anyway, I reckon he'll either keep the same side as last week or throw either Zaniolo or Tielemans in.

[Axl Rose]

Obviously they will get an injury time equaliser/winner though a dodgy decision after Salah runs through and falls over in the box.

Something along these lines.

Would love a Zaniolo winner in front of the Kop

[clash city rocker]

Would love a win today for the 3 pts obviously but also to see klopp's face. Its priceless when they lose

[Goldenballs]

I'd be shocked if Tielemans starts, he looked off the pace in the week. I reckon we'll see Zaniolo from the bench again

I can't call this one, without Mings I'm still very unsure about our defence especially against pace.

[ChicagoLion]

The problem is with the corrupt clowns that are now officiating we can have no confidence in the concept of the  best team wins.
I think we have the ability to go up there and win but we don’t have PGMOL though and they will decide the outcome.

[Astnor]

I think we will go with same team as against Burnley with Cash at right midfield / winger. Can go both ways, they are at home and favourites for a reason me thinks. What a game though, will be intense to watch for sure.

I hope not - I want Martinez in nets

[john2710]

Hopefully this is the game where we make a statement that we're a top team. A bit like I'd hoped we would before the Newcastle game. I fear the pace of their attack will be too good for us. And in the case it's not they'll get the help they need.

Keep the sound turned off before kickoff.

[PaulWinch again]

Pace and quality of their attack is obviously the big challenge. The defence will have to get the line spot on and the midfield are going to have to be everywhere.

[AV84]

Completely irrelevant to whether we win or not but will we be in the all white away kit again, or blue and white?
