Aston Villa and Liverpool are gearing up for a Premier League showdown, with fans and analysts eagerly awaiting the latest squad updates.
According to avfc.co.uk, Aston Villa is hopeful that Youri Tielemans will be fit for Saturday’s match against Liverpool at Anfield. Tielemans recently dealt with a minor issue and was left out of Belgium’s squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League games to give him time to recover. However, he’s expected to feature in this weekend’s game before fully returning to fitness during the international break. Unfortunately, Villa will be without Ross Barkley until after the November internationals, and Matty Cash missed Villa’s midweek Champions League loss to Club Brugge due to injury. These developments suggest Villa may be missing three key players or have them not fully fit for the upcoming match.
Tielemans’ potential availability could provide a valuable boost for Villa as they face the league leaders. Meanwhile, Liverpool is also facing injury issues. Manager Arne Slot confirmed in his Friday update that Diogo Jota will miss the game, and earlier reports from the club revealed that both Alisson Becker and Federico Chiesa will be out until after the international break. As a result, both teams will enter the match with key players unavailable.
Despite these setbacks, Liverpool will be looking to maintain their top position in the league. After a disappointing end to their perfect Champions League run, they will be eager to prove their quality and secure three points against Villa at Anfield.
