'Not many alternatives': Fans name ultimate XI for Villa game

Liverpool face Aston Villa later today as the Premier League football resumes after the World Cup break.

Ibrahima Konate is still not back in training. Curtis Jones, Arthur, Luis Diaz, and Diogo Jota are long-term absences while James Milner and Roberto Firmino are out with knocks.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to be fit after illness ruled him out of the City game.

Yesterday, we asked you which players you want to see getting a nod against Villa. A fan nicknamed UK So has suggested the following lineup:

Alisson; Trent, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Henderson, Thiago; Salah, Nunez, Carvalho.

"We don't have many alternatives when some players are injured. Wish Van Dijk is available. Let's forget Gomez," UK So commented.

"Firmino, Diaz and Jota are supposed to be in the first XI. Ox and Keita are just returning from injury and don't expect they're fully fit."

Here are some other comments:

Stuart Biggs: "Mo Salah, he seems to be the only one that can score a bloody goal."

Simon Olom Godwin: "Nunez! He needs to score goals to boost his confidence in the final third."

Emmanuel Bossman: "Nunez has to start. He needs more game time to build his confidence. He's getting there gradually."
