But in defense, facing Villa, Liverpool is not quite secure, although Van Dyke and Alisson two major defense mainstay have returned, but still not so reassuring.
Liverpool's winter transfer signing of international Gakpo, but tonight Gakpo can not represent Liverpool to play, he has to January 1 to officially join. In addition, Milner, Firmino and Jones are all injured, while strikers Diaz and Diogo Jota are long-term injuries that will be difficult to come back in the short term. Thus, in the attacking line, Liverpool will have to continue to rely on Salah and Nunez. On the left side, Klopp has tried Chamberlain and Carvalho in the past two games, and they seem to have had average results.
The Foxes' defense was severely tested when they knocked out the Miltons by 3 goals in the EFL Cup, but then faced Newcastle in the league and fell behind 0-3 at half-time.
