Liverpool v Aston Villa 5.30 KO

Harry Palmr

The game is on Sky Sports 1

Villa have not lost at Anfield since 06/12/10 when the home side ran out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from N'Gog, Babel and Maxi which is a pretty shocking thing to realise!

This game last season was almost handed to the visitors as Rodgers had one of his rare tactical off days - playing a high risk 4-2-4 against Villas 4-3-3 Weiman, Benteke and Agbonlahor having plenty of freedom to run at a creaking back line. Things only looked more equal when Rodgers switched formation and brought on Lucas for Coutinho at half time the game ending 2-2.

Liverpool's injury list is suddenly twice was it was with Sturridge, Can and Allen joining Johnson, Flanagan and Škrtel on the sidelines. Given the rush of games to come over the next few weeks rotation will come in to play at some point - maybe tomorrow? Lallana and Balotelli will surely both make their Anfield debuts.

Meanwhile Villa apparently have doubts over Vlaar with Benteke, Kozák out while ex Liverpool loaner Ali Cissokho should start for Villa and Joe Cole might be on the bench!

Markovic is fukken useless, take him off

This is Lallana's first game after being out for a couple of months, so I'd say the plan either way was to only give him 60 mins. We have plenty of the ball but still not looking dangerous at all.

Lallana is a poor mans Nick Barmby. Another over rated English player.

That one was no worse than lallana in the first half. A yellow but that's it

Not a great game from Markovic. Time to haul him off, bring on Lambert and go two up front.

Can't believe he took off Lallana instead of Coutinho, he's been absolute muck.

Keane has obviously been having words with the Villa boys

Alan Hutton is the most disgusting footballer since Roy Keane.

coutinho far worse than markowicz. at least he is trying a few things, coutinho has been cowardly.

Coutinho is horrific offers nothing

I thought Lallana was one of our better players today.

Harry Palmr

Lallana 23m off, Sterling 500k on.

Lallana? One of our better players today.

Lallana off?! This is some kind of sick joke, Markovic was rubbish!

Think Coutinho has been worse to be honest. At least Markovic was involved. Countinho has just been anonymous.

I really miss Glen Johnson. At least if we had him and didn't win the game, we'd have someone to blame.

The type of game where Phillippe Senderos might end up being man of the match.
