Harvey Elliott doesn’t even make the match day squad.

Not a huge shock. Barkley has been o.k as sub so he was always returning to the bench and we have Malen and Sancho as the two attacking options.

Hopefully Digne is fine as we will soon see if he's not 100% fit.

We're a big club now, Liverpool reserves are Villa reserves too.

It’s our best side.  If he’s not injured, Elliott must be miles off it or has piped up and been left out as a result.

I think I’d have preferred to see Mings in because of the physicality of the cyborg.
