Could be Salah's fairwell, here is the starting lineup for Liverpool vs Aston Villa

Liverpool have the chance to close the gap on Manchester City in the Premier League standings 2023/24. So far they have 7 points, after the draw against Chelsea (1-1) and the victories against Bournemouth (3-1) and Newcastle (2-1), and in case they beat Aston Villa this Sunday, they will be only 2 points behind the leaders of the tournament.

But it will not be an easy game for The Reds, as they will play against The Villans, who so far have two wins (4-0 against Everton and 3-1 against Burnley) and one defeat (5-1 vs. Newcastle) and, should they win this time, they will also get closer to the top of the standings.

For this match, boss Jurgen Klopp will make three substitutions in the team compared to the win against Newcastle: Joe Gomez will replace Virgil Van Dijk, who was sent off, Curtis Jones will come in for Wataru Endo and Darwin Nunez, last weekend's hero will play in place of Cody Gakpo.

Liverpool's starting lineup will be: Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Joseph Gomez, Andrew Robertson; Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis MacAllister, Curtis Jones; Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz. Aston Villa's XI will be: Emiliano Martinez; Ezri Konsa Ngoyo, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres; Matthew Cash, Boubacar Kamara, Douglas Luiz, Lucas Digne; Moussa Diaby, Ollie Watkins, John McGinn.

Will it be Mo's last game?

Last week Liverpool rejected a nearly $200 million bid from Al-Ittihad to sign Mohamed Salah. The Reds decided they are not willing to let go of their top star, but took a huge risk. Now the transfer window in Europe has closed, but in Saudi Arabia clubs have time to sign players until September 20. That means that the Pro League side will be able to make a new offer and, if the winger accepts it, Liverpool will not be able to sign a replacement. According to Sky Sports, Al-Ittihad are willing to pay $250 million.
