Liverpool may face an Aston Villa side without their captain this weekend as Jack Grealish is in a race to be fit for the game.
Grealish will miss Villa’s Carabao Cup clash with local rivals Wolves after he picked up a calf injury during his side’s defeat to Manchester City at the weekend, and whilst he’s not been ruled out of the Liverpool game, he is in a race to be fit and is by no means certain to be ready to face Jurgen Klopp’s men on Saturday.
Grealish was spotted leaving the Etihad Stadium on crutches after picking up the injury as Villa lost 3-0, which led to plenty of Villans’ fans fearing the worst.

It can be a bonus for any club if an opposition side is depleted, but Liverpool need to focus on themselves rather than on Villa.
Grealish, who is being tipped for a call up to the England national team, will be keen to test himself against the Reds and Villa certainly look a better team when he’s fit and firing but the Reds should be confident of winning the game regardless who is in the Villa starting line-up.
