TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
With Liverpool choosing to field a team of youngsters due to their participation in the Club World Cup the following day for which they sent their first team, Dean Smith decided to make 10 changes to the starting line up with only Henri Lansbury keeping his starting place.
Wesley, John McGinn, Anwar El Ghazi and Frédéric Guilbert rested to the bench with Tom Heaton, Matt Targett, Björn Engels, Marvelous Nakamba rested completely.
Ørjan Nyland was recalled to goal as with the previous EFL Cup fixtures whilst James Chester was handed his first start of the season and recalls were given to Ahmed Elmohamady, Ezri Konsa, Neil Taylor, Douglas Luiz, Trézéguet, Jota and Jonathan Kodjia whilst Lovre Kalinic was named on the bench for the first time this season.
Ironically, when the tables were reversed the following season with Villa having to field a team of under 18s and under 23s due to COVID-19 protocols, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp elected to name a full strength side and a bench containing over £70m worth of talent.
