Aston Villa v Liverpool: Team news

Liverpool will check on the fitness of Naby Keita before finalising their squad for Saturday’s Premier League fixture with Aston Villa.

The midfielder picked up a knock during the second half of the Carabao Cup win against Arsenal and needed to be substituted at Anfield.

“I don’t know, we’ll have to see,” was Jürgen Klopp’s response during his press conference on Friday afternoon, when asked whether Keita would be available for the trip to Villa Park.

One man who won’t be involved is Joel Matip, with the manager confirming the centre-back was a “few weeks” away from a return due to a knee complaint.
