Confirmed Liverpool line-up vs Aston Villa, Luiz Diaz dropped

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has made one big change for the Premier League clash against Aston Villa on the road tonight.

The Merseyside giants are currently seven points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table and can extend the gap with a victory at Villa Park.

Ahead of the game, Slot has made a solitary change to the starting XI.

Alisson Becker continues in goal as usual for the Merseyside giants.

The back four stays the same too. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson retain their places.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister continue in central midfield, but there is a notable change in attack with Luis Diaz dropped by Slot.

Curtis Jones has replaced the Colombian in the XI. He will play from the no.10 role with Dominic Szoboszlai moving to the left wing.

Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota continue in the right wing and centre-forward positions respectively against Unai Emery's side.

Confirmed Liverpool line-up (4-2-3-1): Becker; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Szoboszlai; Jota.
