Liverpool's Sadio Mane may MISS OUT in revenge mission against Aston Villa as Jurgen Klopp admits he is struggling for form, insisting 'obviously the numbers scoring-wise are not great at the moment'

Sadio Mane could be left out of Liverpool's revenge mission against Aston Villa after Jurgen Klopp recognised there is an issue with his form.

The Senegal international has been one of Liverpool's most important players since he arrived at the club in 2016 but his impact this season has been way short of what has come to be expected of him - he has only scored seven Premier League goals, the last of which was on January 28.

Mane has had a hectic schedule over the past three campaigns but Klopp insists physical fatigue has nothing to do with the way he has struggled; Liverpool's manager has alluded to an issue with his confidence and expects one good performance will change the tide.
