Largely happy with that. Need to be so much better than midweek.

[Toronto Villa]

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

[PeterWithesShin]

Elliot not even on the bench.

[Pete3206]

Guessand on the bench. Or should that be beach.

[dorsetvillian]

Really wanted to see Malen and Watkins up top again..

[PaulWinch again]

Elliott not on the bench is bonkers.

You said there was nothing to worry about on the other thread 

[cdbearsfan]

More or less what I would have gone with.

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.

[Rigadon]

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'd perfer Mings vs Haaland

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