Liverpool welcome Steven Gerrard back to Anfield but won’t be interested in doing him any favours as they hope to keep the pressure on at the top of the Premier League table.
The Reds sit second in the table, a point shy of Manchester City, and have won their last four games in a row.
Mohamed Salah’s dazzling form rumbles on. He has recorded at least one goal or assist in 19 of 21 appearances across all competitions for the Reds this season.
The Kop’s current icon may not be the central focus of the cameras this weekend, however.
Gerrard returns to Anfield for the first time as a manager and will be determined to continue his strong start as Villa boss with his new side up to 10th in the table.

Our prediction: Liverpool v Aston Villa
Pleasantries will be exchanged, the Kop will roar, but once the game kicks off, this is Steven Gerrard versus Liverpool Football Club.
The Reds boast an embarrassment of riches going forward and can rely on their main man Salah to do the job once again.
Villa have put up a good fight – and defeated – decent teams under Gerrard’s reign so far. Expect another dogged display even if they don’t get the result they want.
Our prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Aston Villa (9/1 at bet365)
