The pressure is on for Liverpool as they host Aston Villa and attempt to end their four-match losing run in the Premier League.

Arne Slot‘s decision to field a squad of youngsters in the Carabao Cup, which unsurprisingly led to defeat, has ramped up the necessity to beat Aston Villa at Anfield.

Before the weekend’s fixtures, Liverpool are seven points behind Arsenal and need to arrest their run of six losses in seven if they are to keep any faint hopes of a title challenge alive.

1. Ryan Gravenberch should be fit

There was positive and negative injury news to emerge from Slot’s press conference, with updates forthcoming on Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Alexander Isak.

Unfortunately, Slot said he was “99.9 percent sure” that the latter two won’t be involved.

However, Gravenberch could be involved after returning to team training on Thursday following two games out with an ankle issue.

Alisson, Jeremie Frimpong, Jayden Danns and Stefan Bajcetic are all still absent due to hamstring injuries, while Giovanni Leoni remains out after ACL surgery.
