    good for him. he can't say anything right according to some media so better say nothing until the lean.

    Thiago is a pile of ****e. worst signing for injuries since well.. keita LOL.

    Salah is a saudi pipe dream, they can bid an hour before the game on Sunday if the feel like but need to be told where to go.

    Who knows what really goes on in the real world outside of the fevered imagination of desperate hacks, but the club claims to have stated that he is not for sale and if that's true it should be the end of the matter.
    But they have to be clear: "not for sale" isn't the same as "we reject your offer".

    CHRIS SUTTON HAS GONE FOR 2: 1 HOME WIN.

    Liverpool v Aston Villa (14:00)
    This one will be a good game. Unai Emery's teams are well-organised. They got thumped at Newcastle in their first game but have responded well.

    I like the look of Liverpool this season and as long as Mo Salah stays I think they can be the ones who really challenge Manchester City.

    I think they'll find a way in this one and beat Aston Villa.

    Sutton's prediction: 2-1

    David's prediction: 3-1

    JONES KNOWS BEST HAS GONE FOR 1: 1 DRAW


    Liverpool vs Aston Villa, Sunday 2pm
    This is a second chance for Aston Villa to deliver on some bulky pre-season expectations that went up in smoke in their 5-1 opening day defeat to Newcastle. That result may prove to be a huge outlier though on what is shaping up to be an exciting season for Unai Emery and his boys.

    Despite Liverpool's potentially season-lift-off result at Newcastle, I'm still unsure of their position as a top-four ranked side. It's a defence that remains unconvincing without the structure of the midfield looking secure. Villa can certainly make some noise at Anfield.

    They did tempt me on the double chance at 5/4 with Sky Bet but my eyes were drawn to the total goals market where the goal expectancy looks too high for this clash.

    Aston Villa are a cagey team away under Emery on the road, where they sit a little deeper than their fantastically aggressive high line plays at home and soak up a bit more pressure. Eleven of their 13 road matches have fallen under the 3.5 goal line, including this fixture that ended 1-1 towards the end of last season. This makes the 8/11 with Sky Bet for under 3.5 goals look a solid starting point for a wager.

    SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

    REFEREE IS SIMON HOOPER.

    please log in to view this image


    The Premier League has now confirmed that Hooper (41, from Swindon) has been put in charge of the match. Adrian Holmes and Simon Long will be the assistants, with Tony Harrington acting as the fourth official.

    Meanwhile, Darren England will be in charge of the VAR and Timothy Wood will serve as the assistant at Stockley Park.

    With our makeshift defence we should be able to see Aston Villa off. I am predicting Liverpool 3: 1 Aston Villa.

    I'd take any win right now.

    the betting guy on sky is right about emry and the draw.

    the one thing i do not want to see is salah handing out boots or shorts at the end.

    Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is available for selection against Aston Villa in the Premier League this weekend.

    The No.17 has returned to full training in recent days having missed the last two matchday squads, handing Jürgen Klopp's outfit a boost ahead of Sunday's 2pm BST kick-off.

    Two Reds, though, will be absent from the Anfield clash through injury, with Ibrahima Konate and Thiago Alcantara remaining sidelined.

    Captain Virgil van Dijk must also sit out the contest due to suspension as a result of his dismissal in last weekend's 2-1 victory over Newcastle United.

    Konate was missing from the St. James' Park clash due to a muscle complaint, while Thiago has suffered a recent setback in his ongoing rehab, with the midfielder yet to make an appearance this term.

    Issuing an update on Friday, Klopp said: "No, Ibou will not be ready for the game.

    "Curtis is back in training fully. Thiago not. Thiago had a little setback. [He] started training with the team and then had a little setback, so we have to slow down there a little bit.

    "It's not cool for him, it's not cool for us but it's how it is. Thiago will use the international break for that then obviously to be up to speed, I'm pretty sure that should be hopefully enough for him then.

    "All the rest, until now, are available."
