Liverpool will try to keep their slim quadruple hopes alive when they go to Aston Villa on Tuesday night for a very important Premier League match. The Reds are now three points behind leaders Manchester City after a 1-1 draw with Tottenham over the weekend.
If the Reds want to take the title away from the Citizens, they will probably need to win all three of their remaining Premier League games. And Express Sport looks at the team Jurgen Klopp could pick to play at Villa Park.
Alisson is the goalkeeper.
This season, Liverpool's defense has been rock solid. Goalkeeper Alisson has kept a remarkable 26 clean sheets. And the Brazil goalkeeper will be back between the posts to face the Villans.
With so much at stake in the remaining five matches, Klopp will be reluctant to rotate too much and could pick the same defense that played against Tottenham. With 33 assists between them this season, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson might provide the Reds attack with the support they need. While Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate might play together in the back four.
Against Steven Gerrard's team, Liverpool's midfielders will be expected to put up another effort. At some point during this season, the Reds' defense might need the help of Fabinho, who has been a major contributor thus far.

On top of all this, Thiago has had a much-improved season at Anfield and could be given another start at the heart of the team. For the sake of Jordan Henderson's well-earned recuperation, Naby Keita might be brought back into the starting lineup. This season, Keita and Henderson have alternated playing time, with Henderson claiming the last two Premier League victories for his team.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is expected to change things up in attack, and he could reinstate Diogo Jota to the team after he was benched for the match against Tottenham. Following Luis Diaz's signing in January, Jota has seen his playing time cut significantly.
Despite his goal against Spurs, Jota's strike partner Diaz may be overlooked in favor of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. Even though Liverpool have only won two of their past seven top-flight matches, manager Jurgen Klopp is sure that his squad can win this one.
