Some difficult selection decisions for this one. Gerrard said we’d make a couple of changes but no idea who comes out.
I can see Coutinho coming back in but for who I don’t know - surely not Buendia who was our best player at Burnley, Ings-Watkins partnership is looking good and both are scoring.
Then there is Chambers at DM and the defence. I’d be tempted to drop Chambers back into CB and bring Nakamba in for Konsa who once again was poor against Burnley, but not sure he’ll do that.
All I want to see in this one is we play to our best and cause them some problems, we can’t go gung ho but equally can’t put 10 men behind the ball all game. Best way to take something is on the break with Ollie running in behind their high line but of course it’s likely we lose. Best result for Gerrard will be a battling Villa performance and a narrow loss, then he keeps both sets of fans onside.
