More of the same please Rafa!
Liverpool have an injury crisis in central defence and hope to complete the signing of Greece international Sotirios Kyrgiakos before Monday.
If not, Daniel Ayala could continue at centre-half, as Daniel Agger faces six weeks out with a back injury.
Aston Villa are monitoring the fitness of Curtis Davies, who injured his shoulder in the defeat by Rapid Vienna.
Defender Luke Young has been given compassionate leave after the death of his half-brother.

Martin O’Neill’s side have not started the season too well and the Villa fans that I call friends are a little apprehensive about what this year will bring and I can only hope that Rafa will inspire the side to pick up from where they left off and that we can recreate the Stoke City performance.
We have a few people in the physio’s room but I was impressed with the midweek performance of Daniel Ayala and I can see great potential there. I think Yossi’s displays both at the tail end of the White Hart Lane debacle and against the Potters, were fantastic and he really deserves a good run in the side.
My Prediction: 2-0 to Liverpool
