Adam Lallana ready to make debut against Villa
The midfielder completed a £25m move from Southampton this summer, but is yet to actually take to the field for his new team.
Lallana has been struggling with a knee injury picked up during the pre-season tour of the USA, but the Mirror reports he could well make his debut at Villa Park.
Daniel Sturridge has already been ruled out of the game and the former Saints captain could join Mario Balotelli and Raheem Sterling in a three man attack.
