Liverpool FC v Aston Villa - Premier League - Sat 11 Dec @ 15:00

[Gethin]

Yet another Saturday 3pm game not on UK telly - bet the TV companies are kicking themselves not picking this game with the Gerrard narrative now happening.

Unless anyone picked up knocks on Tuesday we should have everyone other than Curtis, Bobby & Elliott available for this. Expect us to go as strong as possible - similar to the Wolves lineup - for this and then rotate a few in for Newcastle

Villa are restricting teams to not many chances. Even City didn't create many clear opportunities. But we're better than anyone else at creating chances.

Same team as wolves I'd go for. Decent break afterwards before Newcastle.

Shame Rory's away at the moment. I'd like to see his tactical analysis on Villa pre & post Gerrard - what they're doing differently etc

[Cam]

Mess with Stevie's head - announce this team at 2pm.

Alisson

TAA Matip VvD Robertson

Give him a red shirt and a pair of boots, tell him it's his choice.

Maybe we should get one of the papers to write a piece about how it’s a national disgrace this must be televised given the return of a premier league legend to his old stomping ground…

[PhilM]

It's only fair that we welcome him back by walloping them 6-1 so that it cancels out the horror of his last game for us.

We need to speak. My day job has got in the way for too long and the fools promoted me! Anyway I'll take this off line and get in touch with you. 

[Nebraska Red]

Get a box, or a stick, or an app on a stick. Then head to livesoccertv.com to find all the channels showing our games.

The only problem is sorting out which feed doesn't give you Keys and Gray as a s*** half-time Easter egg.

Quote

Steven Gerrard returns to Anfield four games and three wins into his time in the Aston Villa dugout. A few interesting statistical themes have emerged from Gerrard’s games in charge: all are among the five Villa performances to feature the fewest lofted passes and fewest attempted long passes this season, and are among the six with the most completed short passes. Somewhat counterintuitively, despite playing fewer risky passes and more straightforward ones, Gerrard has presided over the four Villa matches in which they have had the lowest possession statistics. Still, results have been good, even if they had the good fortune to convert a combined xG of one into four goals against Brighton and Crystal Palace in Gerrard’s first two games.

That reads like early Houlier era Liverpool - get them low risk, compact, sensible and grind out the results. Build from there

[cymrococh]

I'm hoping he's tempted to do something new against us in a vain attempt to catch us out.

[PaulMcC186]

Firmino was training yesterday.

[Jarg Armani]

We should tw*t these really

[Dan]

They are s***e at the back but quite handy going forward.

Not that it particularly matters, but Nat Phillips broke his cheekbone against Milan and will be out for a few weeks
