TEAM NEWS
Steven Gerrard’s shakes things up after no win in six and the visit of Villa legend Dean Smith.
Douglas Luiz and Ezri Konsa are dropped with Tim Iroegbunam coming in for his first start for the club. Calum Chambers also returns having been unlucky to miss out on recent games.
Lucas Digne - who had been written off for the season - makes a surprise comeback for Ashley Young despite the veteran having had his best game in a Villa shirt since his return last time out.
How long Digne will last is another question given he has had to retire early in three of his last four appearances.
