How Liverpool could line up against Aston Villa

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has two new injury absentees to take into account for their Premier League Boxing Day clash with Aston Villa at Villa Park.

The Reds lost Roberto Firmino to a calf injury prior to their 3-2 EFL Cup fourth-round defeat to Manchester City on Thursday, where James Milner also came off with a hamstring issue early on.

Klopp has revealed that the pair will be missing for the next couple of games, joining Arthur, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones on the sidelines for the time being.

France's World Cup runner-up Ibrahima Konate will also not return to training until December 27, but Virgil van Dijk ought to make a timely comeback alongside Joel Matip in the heart of defence.

Caoimhin Kelleher will hand the gloves back over to Alisson Becker, while Milner deputised at right-back in midweek for the ill Trent Alexander-Arnold, who should now be fine to return to the XI as Andy Robertson bombs down the left flank.

Fabinho will be a straight swap for Stefan Bajcetic in the middle, where Jordan Henderson could also come back in for Harvey Elliott, who left the pitch shaking his head after being substituted against Man City.

Thiago Alcantara's spot in the middle is safe, as are Mohamed Salah and Fabio Carvalho's places in the wide areas following their strikes at the Etihad, but it was a different story for Darwin Nunez.

The Uruguayan attacker wasted a host of good opportunities for the Reds on Thursday, but he is in no danger of dropping out amid Klopps's attacking injury crisis.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Nunez, Carvalho body check tags ::
