Diogo Jota

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool starting eleven for this evening’s Premier League clash against Aston Villa.

The Reds boss restores his key stars after making nine changes in midweek, but Alisson misses out with injury alongside Sadio Mane and Thiago, who are self-isolating due to coronavirus.

Adrian starts in goal in Alisson’s absence, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson lining up in defence.

Fabinho starts in midfield, partnering Gini Wijnaldum and Naby Keita. Diogo Jota partners Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah in attack.

Liverpool: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita, Jota, Salah, Firmino.

Substitutes: Kelleher, Milner, Henderson, Jones, Minamino, Origi, N. Williams.

Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Barkley, Trezeguet, Watkins, Grealish.

Substitutes: Steer, Traore, Hourihane, Nakamba, Davis, Elmohamady, El Ghazi.
