Arne Slot has made nine changes to his lineup as Liverpool host Aston Villa in the Premier League, aiming to snap their four-game losing steak in the competition.

Liverpool exited the Carabao Cup in midweek with a heavily rotated side as Slot sought to hand his senior players a rest after two away games in four days.

Therefore, there are no excuses at Anfield this evening as the first-team regulars are restored to the side, including Ryan Gravenberch after a three-game absence with an ankle injury.

Giorgi Mamardashvili returns between the posts, with Andy Robertson retained alongside Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk in the backline.

Gravenberch starts for the first time since the defeat to Man United, with Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister completing the midfield.

Finally, up top, Mohamed Salah is seeking back-to-back league goals for the first time this season, and he is joined by Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike.

Florian Wirtz, meanwhile, is available on the nine-man bench, as is Federico Chiesa. Alexander Isak and Curtis Jones remain sidelined with injury.
