TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Steven Gerrard brings in Ashley Young and Jacob Ramsey for the injured pair of Matt Targett and Leon Bailey in an otherwise unchanged line up from the team that were unlucky to lose against Manchester City last time out.
For the first time since his appointment, the Villa bench has three of the talented youth squad represented with Carney Chukwuemeka retained but joined by Jaden Philogene-Bidace after a three game absence and a first ever squad appearance for 19 year old midfielder Tim Iroegbunam.
