Salah, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara are all on the bench at Villa Park, while Andy Robertson is not involved in the squad at all.

Liverpool still have the Champions League and FA Cup finals to come, while their dreams of a Premier League title are not over, so Klopp says he has no choice but to shuffle his pack as the season nears its end.
