Liverpool transfer rumours
GK: Simon Mignolet
Liverpool’s first choice goalkeeper, Simon Mignolet has to start this crucial match, with no room for rotation or cup goalkeepers.
DC: Emre Can
A fine young defender, Emre Can has made himself first choice this season and has to start this game against Villa.
DC: Martin Skrtel
Back from suspension after a three-match ban, Martin Skrtel should come back into the heart of Liverpool’s back three.
DC: Mamadou Sakho
A player in fine form, Mamadou Sakho deserves to continue as part of the three-man defence against Villa.
MC: Jordan Henderson
Liverpool’s captain for much of this season, Jordan Henderson has become a real leader for the Reds and has to start in this game.
MC: Joe Allen
With no room for Steven Gerrard, there may be no romantic farewell to the FA Cup for the out-of-favour veteran midfielder.
MR: Lazar Markovic
Playing as a wing-back, Lazar Markovic seems a good bet to earn a place on the right of midfield.
ML: Alberto Moreno
On the left-hand side, Alberto Moreno has usually started for Liverpool in the big games and seems the best choice at Wembley.
FR: Raheem Sterling
A key player for Liverpool in attack, Raheem Sterling will surely start this game in a more advanced role than the wing-back position he’s sometimes played.
FL: Philippe Coutinho
In a free role from the left-hand side, Philippe Coutinho will surely be used in this important game as Liverpool chase a place in the final.
FC: Daniel Sturridge
Hoping to be back from injury for this game, Daniel Sturridge would be Liverpool’s best bet upfront despite an up-and-down season.
