TEAM NEWS
Credit where it’s due, Gerrard has at least seen fit to tinker with the team.
Out go Ings, Chambers, Coutinho and Luiz, in come Buendía, Bailey, Ramsey and Mings.
It might be wishful thinking but 60 minutes before kick off there is a faint hope that tactics will be changed too.
Having said that Douglas Luiz is particularly hard done by to miss out however if this is the start of a Brian Little-esque formation change then we’re not ones to complain.
The bench is as would be expected with Nakamba and Sanson expected to depart before transfer deadline tomorrow. Tim Iroegbunam keeps his place alongside Cam Archer as the Villa Youth representatives.
