LIVE: Liverpool v Aston Villa (Premier League)

The Reds XI in full is: Reina, Insua, Johnson, Skrtel, Carragher, Lucas, Mascherano, Kuyt, Benayoun, Gerrard, Torres.

Subs: Cavalieri, Voronin, Riera, Ayala, Dossena, Kelly, Babel.

No new Greek boy, Interesting.

Stronger XI than I expected so happy

Sky Sports were saying he wasn't fit earlier today.

good to see  martin skrtel back , hope he has fully recovered . I'm sure Rafa would not have selected  him , if not
 
 C'mon reds , lets bag these important 3 points

Team as expected then, good to see Skrtel is fit to play.  Thought that N'Gog would at least deserve a place on the bench after his goal on Wednesday night but alas, the team should have enough to see Villa off, easily.

Come on Redmen!!!!  Can't wait.

Not match fit is Kyrigakos i dont think.

Going to be a good game - 4-0 with Gerrard, Torres, Benayoun and Lucas to score.

I was tempted to put a cheeky £1 on 5-0 at 35/1

Strong line up,now just get the 3 points.
Im backing johnson to score again also yossi.

Worthy for a quid.

Lets have it right if Skirtel wasnt fit he would not be in the side. Rafas not stupid. Like i said yesterday hes signed wotsiname for more choices just in case. Still a good signing though imo. Cmon Liverpool , revved up for this now, just having Carra and Skirts in there makes me much happier.

No Carew for Villa.

Their best player, IMO, not even in the squad.

Injured.

Good to see big mart back

come on you reds

Think we have a great chance of putting on a show today providing that we start well from the off.

Injured.

Ah OK.

Still, it's their best player out. Even though we won 5-0, Carew caused us a lot of problems in the first 45 last season so to see him not in the squad is good news.

Happy to see the team we've picked. I'll say 3-0. Gerrard, Torres and Lucas on the scoresheet.

3-1 for me come on

Yes Skrtel is back, eat that Agbanlohor!

I think we should get a closely fought win 

01 Friedel
15 Davies
21 Shorey
23 Beye
24 Cuellar
04 Sidwell
07 Young
08 Milner
19 Petrov
20 Reo-Coker
11 Agbonlahor

Substitutes
22 Guzan, 12 Albrighton, 16 Delph, 26 Gardner, 45 Lowry, 14 Delfouneso, 18 Heskey

What a sh*te side that is. Can i change my prediction?

Surprised Heskey isn't starting.

The only two I'd take are Milner and Agbonlahor.

The Gift Of The Gab

Based on last season, Gabriel Agbonlahor reckons Aston Villa can beat Liverpool. "We had some good results against some top teams away from home," he said, although does 3 points from 12 against the top 4 and a 5-0 hammering at Anfield really count as 'good'? Will the Pool leave Gaby a little Red-faced?

  Says it all

No Delph or Heskey? Surprising.

i think Milner looks dangerous we will have to keep an eye on him

Sound side, expect us to beat them.

Very happy Benayoun got the nod again.

I hope Skrtel is 100%, I don't like it when we rush our boys back too soon. I much prefer to have a second choice who is fully fit than someone who is carrying a knock.
