LFC v Aston Villa: Ings and Sturridge up front

Danny Ings replaces Christian Benteke in the only change to the starting line-up from last weekend's Premier League home game.

Benteke was withdrawn at half time last week with an injury which means he misses out on a return against his old club.

Danny Ings has scored both Liverpool goals in the last two games gets a chance to start alongside Daniel Sturridge.

Despite Bogdan's mid-week heroics, and Mignolet's blunder against Norwich - Simon Mignolet returns to the starting XI.

Liverpool team: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Can, Lucas, Milner, Coutinho, Ings, Sturridge.

Substitutes: Bogdan, Toure, Gomez, Lallana, Allen, Origi, Ibe.

Aston Villa team: Guzan, Amavi, Lescottt, Richards, Hutton, Gana, Westwood, Sanchez, Sinclair, Grealish, Gestede

Subs: Bunn, Clark, Bacuna, Veretout, Ayew, Traore, Gil
