RW) Jordon Ibe
A big miss against Villa. The youngster will step up his return from injury here, providing support for the Reds more established forward pair. We expect to see him replaced by Lallana for the final 20 minutes.
LW) Raheem Sterling
Is there ever a game when he’s not under pressure? He might be our top scorer, with 11 goals in all competitions, but Henderson’s new deal has drawn greater scrutiny over why Sterling’s perspective contract remains unsigned.
ST) Philippe Coutinho
With Sturridge again sidelined, we’ve kept with the Brazilian in the ‘false nine’ role. He was the only Liverpool player who looked like scoring against Villa, while Mario Balotelli didn’t do enough to suggest he should start.
