Away from Salah, Darwin Nunez makes his first Premier League start of the season after last weekend’s heroics against Newcastle United, where the striker bagged a brace.

The other major changes to the starting XI include Curtis Jones coming in for new signing Wataru Endo as Joel Matip and Joe Gomez form the central defensive partnership, with Virgil van Dijk suspended and Ibrahima Konate injured.

With Ryan Gravenberch unavailable, Klopp has made some bold calls ahead of Liverpool’s clash against Villa, where another three points will be huge in Anfield side’s long journey to qualify for a UEFA Champions League spot.
