Liverpool host Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday looking to extend their unbeaten run to twelve games in all competitions.

Liverpool are not expected to have any current injured players returning for the Aston Villa clash at Anfield on Saturday evening. It was hoped that the Reds would have been able to call on at least one of these absentees, but that does not seem to be the case.

Diogo Jota has been out since the 2-1 win over Chelsea last month after suffering an upper body problem and is not expected to return until the international break. The same goes for Federico Chiesa, who has missed the last eight matches but will not make his return until at least the trip to Southampton later this month. This will leave Liverpool with just four fit senior attackers against Villa, giving Slot a Arne Slot a dilemma over which one to leave out of the XI again.

Another unavailable player is Harvey Elliott. The midfielder fractured his foot while playing for England Under-21s in September and is yet to make a return to action. Elliott is back on the pitch at the AXA training center, but has not yet been seen in team training. He could return after the international break.

The last of the four players currently injured is Alisson, who has been out since the 1-0 win at Crystal Palace in October and is apparently unlikely to return.
