[Teams] Aston Villa vs Liverpool: Confirmed Line-ups

Liverpool travel to the Midlands to take on Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday lunchtime looking to close the gap on sixth-place Everton.

The Reds head into the game sitting seventh in the table and are now six points adrift of their Mersey rivals after the Toffees beat Stoke 1-0 on Saturday, so boss Brendan Rodgers knows victory today is vital to maintain their hopes of finishing sixth.

Liverpool have been boosted by the return of Pepe Reina and Jamie Carragher meaning Brad Jones and Martin Skrtel drop to the bench. Daniel Sturridge is also among the subs as Rodgers opts for a front three of Luis Suarez, Philippe Coutinho and Stewart Downing. Here are the confirmed line-ups for the game
