Team NewsLiverpool striker Daniel Sturridge will miss the visit of Aston Villa as he could be sidelined for up to three weeks with a thigh strain sustained while with England.
Midfielder Emre Can is another international duty casualty as he has been ruled out for six weeks with an ankle injury while fellow midfielder Joe Allen returned from playing for Wales with a knee problem which needs to be assessed.
Summer signing Adam Lallana is in line for his competitive debut after recovering from a pre-season knee injury but defenders Martin Skrtel, Glen Johnson and Jon Flanagan are all out.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert could give on-loan Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley his debut.
The midfielder joined last week after a protracted deadline-day transfer.
Lambert, meanwhile, has a couple of injury doubts over unnamed players ahead of the trip to Anfield.
Strikers Christian Benteke and Libor Kozak remain absent.
Match Notes
Aston Villa have saved some of their best football of Paul Lambert’s reign for trips to Anfield.
They have a win and a draw from their two visits under the Scot, their counter-attacking style appearing to be ideally suited to facing Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Liverpool had to cancel out a two-goal deficit to claim a point last season. They’ll be without thigh injury victim Daniel Sturridge on Saturday, but Adam Lallana is finally ready to make an appearance.
Stat of the game: Steven Gerrard has scored 12 Premier League goals against Aston Villa, four more than he has netted against any other side.
