Liverpool travel to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Monday night in what is Jurgen Klopp’s final away game in charge of the Reds.
The trip to Villa Park will be the German’s 490th match as Liverpool boss as his legendary spell with the club comes to an end and the Reds are aiming to finish this season on a high. After a torrid spell that saw them drop out of the title race and Europe, the Carabao Cup winners got back on track with a 4-2 victory over Tottenham most recently.
It was an impressive and characteristically high-energy display from Klopp’s side, with the likes of Harvey Elliott, Cody Gakpo and the returning Mohamed Salah among those that dazzled.

CM: Harvey Elliott – A tremendous goal and a delightful assist stole the show at Anfield against Tottenham and the indefatigable midfielder is a must-start against a tired Villa side.
CM: Wataru Endo – Quietly finding form after a difficult period, it was notable that Liverpool conceded twice to Tottenham once he had left the field of play.
CM: Alexis Mac Allister – The World Cup winner will be among the candidates for Liverpool’s Player of the Season after…
