Aston Villa vs Liverpool Confirmed Lineups for Premier League Tie
-----------------------------------------------------------------
### Aston Villa Team News
Both sets of injury updates are based on the latest from [PremierInjuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/teams).
The Villans are seeing out the year without key midfielders Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara. They’ve struggled to adapt without the backbone of their midfield and tactics as the duo were key to some of the team’s strong form earlier in the campaign.
Those are the only two absences that Unai Emery is dealing with, youngster Alysson is also sidelined but he was not a regular in the first team.
### Aston Villa Confirmed Lineup
Stay tuned as this will be updated when the starting eleven and bench are officially announced.
### Liverpool Team News
Arne Slot’s disaster defence of his league title is looking to limp over the line. He got second-string goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili back for the Chelsea draw, but is still waiting on Alisson to return to fitness. The veteran could make his return in this one but faces a late fitness test. The same goes for Florian Wirtz who has been dealing with an illness.
Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo, Jayden Danns, Giovanni Leoni, and Hugo Ekitike are all injured and won’t play any further part in what remains of this campaign.
### Liverpool Confirmed Lineup
Stay tuned as this will be updated when the starters and substitutes are confirmed.
