Liverpool are set to face Aston Villa on Sunday in the Premier League, but Jurgen Klopp has a few injury doubts to ponder over before then.
The Reds pulled off a dramatic comeback victory over Newcastle United at the weekend thanks to a two-goal salvo from substitute Darwin Nunez and will be hoping to build on that late win when they face Unai Emery’s side, who head into the Anfield clash with two wins from their opening three league games.
Whilst Liverpool have a few players who are a doubt, Villa have a longer injury list to contend with. We take a look at which players are out or doubtful for the game at the weekend.
