Liverpool’s FA Cup semi final opponents Aston Villa are facing an injury crisis ahead of Sunday’s match at Wembley.
Tim Sherwood’s side currently have the most injuries in the Premier League, 10 according to Physioroom.
Forwards Gabriel Agbonlahor – who scored in Villa’s 1-0 win at Anfield in September – and Scott Sinclair are both expected to miss the game, along with long-term absentee Libor Kozak.
In midfield, they’re expected to be without Carlos Sanchez, Ashley Westwood and new signing Carles Gil.
In defence, Alan Hutton, Philippe Senderos, Cieran Clark and Aly Cissoko are all either doubts or definitely ruled out.
Possible Villa XI: Guzan, Rich, Vlaar, Baker, Bacuna, Delph, Cleverley, Grealish, N’Zogbia, Benteke, Weimann.

Former Liverpool midfielder John Barnes‘ rapping skills are pretty well known thanks to his superb cameos in the Anfield Rap and England’s World in Motion tracks.
Digger provided another superb example of his rapping ability on Sky One’s A League of Their Own show – but the unexpected part saw another former Red join him; Jamie Redknapp.
Here they are performing their unique version of The Sugarhill Gang’s classic Rapper’s Delight.

As well as transfer money generated, the departure of various peripheral players this summer can save Liverpool £40 million in wages, writes Jack Lusby.
In 2012, Liverpool owner John W. Henry spoke of “reversing the errors of previous regimes,” and this included slashing the club’s wage bill significantly with the departure of high-earning, ageing stars such as Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt.
This has been a trend throughout the tenure of Fenway Sports Group on Merseyside, but how can it continue this season?
“We will build and grow from within, buy prudently and cleverly and never again waste resources on inflated transfer fees and unrealistic wages. We have no fear of spending and competing with the very best but we will not overpay for players,” he continued.
“We will never place this club in the precarious position that we found it in when we took over at Anfield.”
Whether Liverpool have avoided overpaying for players in recent years is debatable, but that is more an issue of judgment, rather than imprudence.
The issue of wages is a touchy one at present, of course, due to the precarious position of Raheem Sterling, and his desire of a rise from his current wage of £30,000 a week to something closer to £150,000 a week.
This is a situation only exacerbated by the disproportionate salaries of some of those around him, and the club will continue to address that this summer.
Henry’s vision of a self-sustainable, meritocratic, prudent football club will take years, partially due to the failures of his predecessors, and the necessary risks he took on his arrival (see: the signing of £80,000-a-week Andy Carroll, for example).
This summer he can take another step, by cutting the wage bill by £40 million.
But how?
Contract Expiry
At present, four players look likely to depart the club on a free transfer at the end of the season, and with this a large portion of Liverpool’s wage bill will be reduced.
The announced move of captain Steven Gerrard to MLS franchise LA Galaxy in the summer was one met with perhaps oversentimental outrage and whimpering at the time, but given his place in the squad in the second half of 2014/15, this is one that makes economic sense for the Reds.
Gerrard is one of the club’s highest earners, on a reported £150,000-a-week salary—a factor seemingly being used in Sterling’s contract talks—amounting to £7.8 million a year.
The same report mentions the £110,000-a-week wage of fellow soon-to-be exile Glen Johnson who, despite manager Brendan Rodgers’ best wishes, looks set to leave Merseyside this summer, with AS Roma mooted as potential suitors—Serie A traditionally being a graveyard of lethargic high-earners.
Johnson’s departure will save the club £5.72 million a year.
At present, centre-back Kolo Toure is debating whether or not to extend his deal with the club, having been offered a new one-year deal, with the Ivorian admirably weighing up his prospects of a first-team role elsewhere—something his profile deserves.
Toure currently earns a reported £75,000 a week at Liverpool, or £3.9 million a year.
Finally, goalkeeper Brad Jones will see out the end of his Reds contract this season, with the Australian unfortunately nowhere near the level required to compete with first-choice stopper Simon Mignolet.
While there is no conclusive proof, it would be reasonable to suggest the 33-year-old earns at least £25,000 a week at a top-level Premier League club such as Liverpool—so the Reds could look to free up another £1.3 million a year in wages.
Players Sales
As well as the departures of Gerrard, Johnson, Toure and Jones, Liverpool could see a host of other players leave this summer, as their annual squad overhaul takes place—removing deadwood and meagre contributors.
Drawing together the squad situations of various players, at least 10 players could be sold this summer.
Firstly, current loanees Sebastian Coates, Andre Wisdom, Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas are all likely to leave at the end of the season, and this would free up a total of £5.2 million a year—again assuming they earn an average wage, similar to Jones.
Another hopeful summer sale would be left-back Jose Enrique who, given his reported wage of £65,000 a week at Liverpool, would save the club another £3.38 million a year, if a buyer can be found.
Striker Rickie Lambert, following his near-departure to Aston Villa in January, is another player who can be expected to leave this summer, and his £50,000-a-week wage at former club Southampton suggests that Liverpool could save £2.6 million a year if he is sold.
Lucas Leiva, as a long-term first-team fixture, could save the club around £60,000 a week, or £3.12 million a year, in wages if he finally departs the club for Serie A this summer.
Elsewhere, if Liverpool finally severe their ties struggling striker Fabio Borini—who turned down a £55,000-a-week contract at QPR last summer, wanting £90,000 a week—this would save the club at least £2.86 million a year.
Finally, the mooted sale of Mario Balotelli, a player who has looked an ill fit from the start, largely due to Rodgers’ hypocritical demands, would save the club a large amount in wages.
If the Reds relinquished to the interest of Sampdoria this summer and sold the 24-year-old, they would save £80,000 a week, or £4.16 million a year.
Factoring in these speculated savings, as well as those of the summer’s likely free-transfer departures, the club’s yearly savings could amount to a healthy £40 million.
Where Can the Money Go?
With Liverpool potentially saving £40 million a year in wages, this boils down to £770,000 a week, representing a large amount to play with when it comes to rejuvenating the squad over the summer.
But Henry and Rodgers should look to distribute this prudently.
Given the loss of high-earning squad players such as Enrique and Borini, it seems a no-brainer to redistribute these wages towards contract renewals of Sterling and Jordan Henderson—both key players in Rodgers’ system.
If Enrique earns £65,000 a week, Sterling’s representatives can make a convincing argument that the 20-year-old is worth at least £100,000 a week.
Elsewhere, the likes of Mamadou Sakho, Martin Skrtel and Joe Allen can be tied down to extended deals with the aid of these funds.
Of course, with the loss of Gerrard, possibly Lucas and, despite his contribution, Balotelli, Rodgers is set to lose three huge fixtures from his squad.
Again, the money can be used to help replace these players.
A high-profile midfield general, a nuanced defensive midfielder and an accomplished, trustworthy centre-forward are all deserving of a large portion of this £40 million-a-year saving this summer.
Henry can inch closer once more to “reserving the errors of previous regimes” this summer, by cutting free a yearly £40 million in wages, but the Liverpool owner must redistribute that and continue to build the club wisely.
How should Liverpool spend their projected £40 million a year from wage losses? Let us know in the comments below.

Simon Collings takes a look at some of the Reds’ most memorable FA Cup semi-finals in recent years.
Whisper it quietly, but it might be turning into a decent season after all! With an FA Cup semi-final place secured, all the doom and gloom that surrounded the club after weeks of bad press can be put to one side (for now).
This year’s FA cup campaign has had its moments, yet here we are in another semi-final and possibly ninety minutes away from Brendan Rodgers leading us out at Wembley for the first time.
More important?
They say in football losing a semi-final is actually worse than losing the final itself. Ex-Reds goalkeeper David James always maintained he’d prefer to go out in the third round than to lose in the latter stages – the logic being: go out early-on so the pain’s less severe.
A semi-final is a game no player wants to lose. To be in touching distance of a showpiece final and have it snatched away is a feeling all players, managers, and fans dread – that’s why our loss to Chelsea in this year’s League Cup semi hurt so much.
Luckily, Liverpool have always had a decent overall record when it comes to the last four – both at home and abroad.
A good record
Yes there’s been the odd dodgy Inter Milan semi back in 1965 – in the old European Cup – as well as seeing a third consecutive league and cup double dashed in by Crystal Palace in 1990. Yet in the FA Cup as a whole, Liverpool have a so-so record: winning 14 out of 23 last-four encounters.
In the last thirty years however, only Palace in 1990 have denied Liverpool an FA cup final appearance.
This recent record is something to savour, and one which we all hope will continue against Aston Villa.
Of course, 1989’s semi-final at Hillsborough will be remembered for very different reasons, but which are the ones that have lived long in the memory?
Let’s take a look at some recent encounters…
Nottingham Forrest (replay) – 1989 (Old Trafford)
After the Hillsborough tragedy this semi-final replay at Old Trafford a few weeks later was an emotionally charged encounter to say the least. Seemingly willed on by the nation to reach a possible all-Merseyside final, Liverpool didn’t let anyone down.
The whole club did the fans and the city proud in an emphatic 3-1 victory over Brian Clough’s men. Although John Aldridge grabbed a brace, every single Liverpool player ran themselves into the ground that day to make sure the club reached Wembley to face Everton.
The final, as we know, was a classic encounter, yet getting through that semi-final tie was an extraordinary achievement which mustn’t be forgotten.
Aston Villa – 1996 (Old Trafford)
On occasions a semi-final can be nervy encounters – effectively stifling a team’s performance. Liverpool’s demolition of Aston Villa however, was a joy to watch.
We’d already blown them away 3-0 at Anfield earlier in the month and this semi-final contest was no exception.
Robbie Fowler was at the peak of his powers with two exquisite goals – Jason McAteer added the third.
It’s a shame the final turned out the way it did. Manchester United saw this semi-final display and decided to shut-up-shop – sneaking a dour 1-0 victory.
The win over Villa however, was Roy Evans’ team at its best – and I don’t think Liverpool have performed better in a semi-final since.
Wycombe Wanderers – 2001 (Villa Park)
In a season that included so many cup highs, this semi-final against Laurie Sanchez’s underdogs often went overlooked. It could have been a huge banana-skin for the Reds, but Gerard Houllier’s professional approach paid off.
An Emile Heskey header late on, followed by a Robbie Fowler free kick, quashed any hopes of an upset despite Wycombe grabbing a consolation.
Not the greatest of games, yet Fowler’s sublime curler into the top corner was a moment to savour – keeping alive the possibility of a unique cup-treble.
Chelsea – 2006 (Old Trafford)
In what was the competition’s 125th year, Liverpool’s victory over Chelsea was a sweet (albeit nervy) one. Remembered as much for Joe Cole’s late miss as for Luis Garcia’s exquisite 20-yard volley, Liverpool dug deep to reach yet another final at Cardiff’s Millennium stadium.
Chelsea were going for a league and cup double so to prevent them doing so was an extra incentive in this spiky affair – typical of things to come between the two sides.
John Arne Riise kicked things off with a neat free kick, whilst Garcia’s strike extended the lead shortly after the break. Didier Drogba set up a frantic ending with a headed goal late on, but Liverpool held on much to the dismay of Jose Mourinho. Wonderful stuff!
Everton – 2012 (Wembley)
Despite the FA’s awful decision to move the last four ties to Wembley, this much-hyped encounter did give a new generation of Reds fans a showpiece Merseyside derby to savour.
Okay, so it wasn’t the actual final, but this enthralling 2-1 victory over the Toffee’s was deemed our biggest win against them since the late eighties.
The amount of times we’ve all watched Wembley footage from ’86 & ’89 was starting to get old! Finally, we now had a new Wembley encounter to enjoy.
In a game full of incidences and mistakes, Nikica Jelavic gave Everton the lead. Luis Suarez equalised after a poor pass-back, and Andy Carroll glanced in a winner three minutes from time.
Despite the performance, the occasion and result were perfect – setting the Reds up for their second Wembley final in the space of a few months.
Let’s hope there’s another Merseyside derby at Anfield South around the corner because they really are a spectacle to behold!

Karl Matchett provides a tactical analysis of Philippe Coutinho‘s ‘false nine’ role against Newcastle on Monday night, which was key to Liverpool’s attacking success.
Liverpool getting back to winning ways in the Premier League on against Newcastle United coincided with a more confident and offensive style of play than Anfield had witnessed in the past couple of games, with Philippe Coutinho predictably central to much of the Reds’ good work.
While the Brazilian’s form has been key to much of 2015’s improvement, Monday night saw him operate in yet another new role for the Reds: the furthest forward central player in a fairly standard 4-3-3 lineup. With Jordon Ibe and Raheem Sterling either side of him there was plenty of youth, pace and direct running in the Reds’ attack, but it was Coutinho who was key to it all.
Of course, anybody watching the game (or following on social media what seemed to be the performance Vine was created for) will be aware of just how good Coutinho was technically during the 90 minutes, but in the role he played, his on-the-ball activity was only half the story.
The real key to Coutinho’s success in the role, and thus Liverpool’s ability to attack at will, was in his movement when out of possession.
While playing as the furthest forward player, Coutinho was anything but static and holding a high attacking position throughout. Against a back four which was as makeshift as Liverpool’s own, Coutinho was relentless in his search for space, pulling the Newcastle defenders all over the shop as he dictated the areas the Reds attacked in and who joined in.
When playing with a 4-3-3, it is natural to expect that the two wide forwards would be the ones most frequently involved in joining the centre-forward in the penalty area: one cutting in off the flank when the build-up play is on the opposite side.
However, that wasn’t Liverpool’s early premise, despite Raheem Sterling netting the opening goal. His strike came from picking the ball up in the channel after a cross-field pass, the most frequent area that both Ibe and Sterling took possession in before invariably attacking their respective full-backs.
Midfield Runners
Instead, it was the two central midfielders who joined up Liverpool’s attack, both following build-up play into the final third and also anticipating it by driving forward early, into the space which Coutinho vacated time after time.
The runs forward by Allen and Henderson were absolutely key to the Reds’ approach; neither of them might make the big headlines following the match, even though Allen scored the killer second, but without them doing this job diligently and rigorously, the Reds would have been far less dangerous and the quick attacks would have been utterly blunted. Coutinho was the instrument to initiate the possibilities, but as always it was the team initiative which made the tactic come together to work.
Henderson’s runs forward in particular were vital because he was often the furthest forward Red shirt, not allowing Newcastle’s back line to step up and, in turn, keeping Coutinho in the space he craved.
Allen deserves credit and recognition for his willingness to not just stop at the edge of the box but to go on and make up more ground, but with a little more self-belief or selfish running, whichever way you want to see it, the No. 24 could have netted a brace in the first half. Low crosses into the six-yard box, the extra burst of pace between two defenders or just a simple gamble that the ball might fall his way. The 2008-vintage Steven Gerrard would have scored several in this game.
False Nine
As for Coutinho, he dictated play and tempo, often outside the box to allow those second-line of attack runs.
One of the No. 10’s biggest traits has always been his propensity to drift between opposition lines, picking gaps between midfield and defence to receive possession and turn to feed team-mates. Newcastle, an admittedly accommodating opponent in this respect, simply couldn’t deal with him; bad enough when he features in the No. 10 role that he picks clever areas to appear in, but at least there he has a defined role and, inevitably, an assigned marker.
As the roving forward, the false nine for Liverpool, the Magpies’ defence was faced with a constant poser: let him go and risk Coutinho having time and space on the ball, or follow him and leave an enormous gap in behind?
Almost invariably, Mike Williamson and Daryl Janmaat seemed to get it wrong—or else get it right just a second or two too late, which was enormous testament to how well Coutinho played the role.
Take the Reds’ first goal, which on first glance seemed to have little to do with him. Just a few moments after the last image above, Coutinho did the same thing: drop deep, force the defender into a decision. This time, Henderson opted to switch play rather than drive forward himself. The next view shows just how important Coutinho’s off-the-ball play was to the Reds’ early momentum, almost assisting the goal without even touching the ball.
These runs and response-runs happened time after time in the first half, with Newcastle having no way to stop them. The lack of clinical edge from the Reds was really the only thing keeping the away side in the game until the break—that and Simon Mignolet’s terrific one-handed save just before the half-time whistle.
Coutinho drifted, dropped deep, worked the channels to create overloads. He initiated quick triangles of passing, he showed some of the most blinding footwork seen at Anfield this season and, just when you thought he was ignoring the fact he was actually playing as the striker, he showed great awareness and determination to several times attempt to lengthen play and sprint in behind the defence.
There were numerous occasions when Liverpool had three or four players inside the penalty area, and not one of them was the (metaphorical) No. 9.
Allen, Henderson, Alberto Moreno. All of them made ground inside the area in the opening stages. Midway through the first half, the wide forwards became more involved there too, with Sterling sprinting centrally into the gaps as Liverpool made use of Newcastle finally coming into the game as an attacking entity, while Ibe could also have scored or set up a chance when he drifted into the area twice.
Coutinho was playmaker, creator and chief tormentor. In likening him to another false nine it would be easy and appropriate to turn immediately to the false nine of the age, Lionel Messi at Barcelona, but it is probably more apt to recall Luis Suarez’s ridiculous exploits in Red.
Messi would run in behind as often as come deep to set up attacks from all over the pitch, but once inside the penalty area would also show the wizardry to beat defenders and create scoring chances from nothing. In that regard also, Coutinho deserves top marks against Newcastle.
Liverpool have on their hands a rare talent — one who is already signed to a new, improved, long-term deal. Is he a likely starter from centre-forward every game? No. He didn’t even finish the full 90 in this role, but it was right to add an extra forward presence in Fabio Borini, later in the game.
Coutinho’s finishing is not yet of the required standard to be the main threat, game in and game out, but it will improve this year and next, have no doubt of that. However, Liverpool cannot always count on as disorganised a team to play against and need the right players in place elsewhere to make the most of Coutinho’s creative ability, with space as much as with the ball. Adam Lallana will not attack centrally as directly or as quickly as Sterling did; Joe Allen will not always have the inclination to get beyond the 18-yard line as frequently as he did here.
But as another way to get the best out of the Reds’ prime talent, another way to confuse opponents and to steer the team toward another three points, letting Coutinho off the leash and freeing him to wreak havoc in the final third is exactly the right way to go for Liverpool. And may the goals flow freely.

Analysis: Philippe Coutinho as Liverpool’s ‘False 9′ – Playmaker, Creator and Chief Tormentor
Karl Matchett provides a tactical analysis of Philippe Coutinho‘s ‘false nine’ role against Newcastle on Monday night, which was key to Liverpool’s attacking success.
Liverpool getting back to winning ways in the Premier League on against Newcastle United coincided with a more confident and offensive style of play than Anfield had witnessed in the past couple of games, with Philippe Coutinho predictably central to much of the Reds’ good work.
While the Brazilian’s form has been key to much of 2015’s improvement, Monday night saw him operate in yet another new role for the Reds: the furthest forward central player in a fairly standard 4-3-3 lineup. With Jordon Ibe and Raheem Sterling either side of him there was plenty of youth, pace and direct running in the Reds’ attack, but it was Coutinho who was key to it all.
Of course, anybody watching the game (or following on social media what seemed to be the performance Vine was created for) will be aware of just how good Coutinho was technically during the 90 minutes, but in the role he played, his on-the-ball activity was only half the story.
The real key to Coutinho’s success in the role, and thus Liverpool’s ability to attack at will, was in his movement when out of possession.
While playing as the furthest forward player, Coutinho was anything but static and holding a high attacking position throughout. Against a back four which was as makeshift as Liverpool’s own, Coutinho was relentless in his search for space, pulling the Newcastle defenders all over the shop as he dictated the areas the Reds attacked in and who joined in.

Joao Carlos Teixeira‘s impressive loan spell at Championship side Brighton has come to an early end after the Liverpool midfielder suffered a broken leg on Tuesday night.
It’s a bitter blow for the 22-year-old Portuguese player, who had scored six goals in 32 appearances for the south coast side.
Brighton boss Chris Hughton praised Texiera: “This is a real blow to him after such a good season for the club – and we all wish him a speedy recovery and return to action.
“He’s been an important player for the club this season, both before and after I came to the club, and I would like to thank him for his efforts during his time on loan here, and also Liverpool for allowing him to come.”
Only last week the player had talked of his dream to return to Liverpool and impact the first-team.
“I came to Brighton to become more mature and get more experience, and hopefully next year I will be playing for Liverpool. That is my dream,” he told the Guardian.
Teixeira, who has been likened to compatriot Deco, was signed for £800,000 from Sporting Lisbon in 2012, having impressed in the Next Gen Series against Liverpool’s under-18s.
Last month it was reported that Brendan Rodgers intended to the give Teixeira a chance in pre-season this summer.
Teixeira’s contract expires in 2016 and will face a battle to recover from this injury and earn a new deal at the club.

Liverpool expect Raheem Sterling to stay with them for “a long time”, Reds chief executive Ian Ayre has stressed.
Forward Sterling is in an apparent contract wrangle with the Merseyside outfit, with the 20-year-old admitting he had rejected a £100,000-per-week deal in a recent interview that was not sanctioned by the club.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers said soon after that interview that Sterling would “not going anywhere in the summer”.
And, quoted on Wednesday by several national newspapers, Ayre said: “Raheem’s agent has asked that we park all discussions regards his future until the summer. We respect that.
“Raheem is a Liverpool player and has over two years left on his contract. We expect Raheem Sterling to be here for a long time.”
As well as the contract situation, Sterling – who is being linked with the likes of Manchester City – is currently at the centre of further controversy.
Footage was released on Monday of him appearing to inhale the legal high nitrous oxide and then pass out, and images of the England international holding a shisha pipe alongside Reds team-mate Jordon Ibe subsequently emerged on Tuesday.
That was the second time in a matter of days that photographs of Sterling with a shisha pipe had appeared, with a Sunday newspaper also publishing pictures of him allegedly smoking from the instrument.
Rodgers made it clear immediately after Monday night’s 2-0 win over Newcastle that he expects better from his players and the Northern Irishman added he would talk to Sterling about the reports concerning his off-field behaviour.

Liverpool stars past and present have gathered at a sun-drenched Anfield to pay their respects to the 96 fans who died in the Hillsborough Disaster 26 years ago.
Manager Brendan Rodgers and club captain Steven Gerrard led the tributes at the Memorial Service which was also attended by Everton counterparts Roberto Martinez and Phil Jagielka.
The majority of the current first-team squad were present for the service, including Raheem Sterling, Mario Balotelli and Glen Johnson, along with former stars Kenny Dalglish, Robbie Fowler, Ian Rush and Jamie Carragher.
Thousands of fans, including family members of a number of the victims, assembled in the Anfield stands for the service which was conducted by Reverend Kevin Bolton and included a reading from Everton club ambassador Graham Stuart.
Bells in the city tolled 96 times to mark the moment the the tragedy occured during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at the Sheffield ground on April 15, 1989.
The media wall at Lime Street Station showed images of the victims while the Mersey Ferry, an iconic symbol of the city, sounded its horns and barriers at the Mersey Tunnel were lowered for one minute.
Joe Anderson, the mayor of Liverpool, said: "We will never forget those who died at Hillsborough and this is a day for us to unite as a city and remember each one and also their families and friends left behind.
"I urge everyone in Liverpool, and across the region, to observe the minute's silence, as a mark of respect for the 96 who lost their lives."
The guests also paid tribute to the three people killed in the Boston Marathon bombings on this day in 2013. Liverpool are owned by the Boston-based Fenway Sports Group.
