Liverpool have made the perfect start to 2014, with victories over Hull City and Stoke City in the league and Oldham Athletic in the FA Cup.

However, they continue to need to win every game to stay in the top four, where they start before this weekend’s rounds of games.

With Arsenal at home to Fulham and Manchester City at home to Cardiff on Saturday with Chelsea playing Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Brendan Rodgers‘ men can’t afford to let any points slip against Villa.

The opposition

Villa have already been busy in the transfer market this January, with Grant Holt and Ryan Bertrand possibly making their debuts for the club at Anfield.

They currently sit 11th in the table after a sluggish start to the season, however a gulf of 18 points separate them from Liverpool.

Having suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of Sheffield United in the FA Cup, and at home to Arsenal on Monday night, Lambert’s men will be looking for their first points since a 1-0 win at Sunderland on New Year’s Day.

Team news

Daniel Sturridge returned as a second-half substitute at Stoke last week to set-up Luis Suarez for a goal, and then grab one himself. He could make his first start after his ankle injury.

Sturridge to score first in the game is a tempting 3/1.

Joe Allen and Mamadou Sakho return to the matchday squad after injuries picked up in the 2-1 defeat at Chelsea last month, although there are still doubts over Sakho’s fitness and the French international may require a late fitness test.

Expect Steven Gerrard to play in the holding midfield role Brendan Rodgers alluded to in comments after the victory at the Britannia Stadium last weekend.

Betting tip

Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have scored 32 goals between them this season. Both Suarez and Sturridge to score and Liverpool to win 3/1 and you can get a free £25 bet with William Hill here.

3 in, 3 out for Liverpool against Villa?

Liverpool’s lengthy injury list is finally being reduced as key players return to fitness – bringing with it healthy selection dilemmas for manager Brendan Rodgers.

Steven Gerrard returned to the side last week against Stoke to make his first Premier League start since injury in early December and Daniel Sturridge came off the bench to return from six weeks on the sidelines.

Centre-back Mamadou Sakho is back available for the match against Aston Villa on Saturday, as is midfielder Joe Allen.

Sakho has been missing since picking up a hamstring strain in the defeat at Chelsea, while Allen was also injured in the same game. Both had been enjoying their best form of the season up until injury.

With Rodgers explaining how he intends to use Gerrard in a deeper, holding midfield role, Allen’s return could be bad news for Lucas Leiva – who was used in a more advanced role than usual for the Brazilian against Stoke.

Lucas would be the one to make way for Allen, lining up ahead of Gerrard alongside Jordan Henderson in Liverpool’s midfield triangle.

Sakho would be likely to replace Kolo Toure in defence. The Ivorian partnered Martin Skrtel at Stoke but was forced to move to his less familiar left side of defence in the absence of Sakho and Daniel Agger.

Rodgers will be keen to get the balance back in his defence and so Sakho partnering Skrtel seems the most likely option – especially as the two of them had seemingly become Rodgers preferred partnership prior to Sakho’s injury.

Meanwhile, Sturridge’s return means Philippe Coutinho‘s place in the side is under threat. The Brazilian has been off form of late and looks the more likely to drop out rather than in-form Raheem Sterling.

That would mean a rather menacing front three of Sterling, Sturridge and Luis Suarez – as they were for the final 25 minutes at Stoke.

Possible LFC line-up vs Villa:

That line-up would mean Allen, Sakho and Sturridge replacing Lucas, Toure and Coutinho from the side that started at the Britannia last time out. Three positive changes to provide balance to the side?

Of course, Rodgers may opt not to risk Sturridge from the start, and instead have him as a rather exciting substitute to use again.

Jon Flanagan and Jose Enrique remain sidelined, although both could return at the end of the month.

Liverpool provisional squad: Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Toure, Cissokho, Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson, Sterling, Sturridge, Suarez, Coutinho, Jones, Kelly, Sakho, Alberto, Aspas, Ibe.

Let us know which line-up you’d use against Villa in the comments below.
