Predicted Liverpool XI for UEFA Champions League clash vs Villarreal

Liverpool will take on Villarreal later today as they aim to maintain their perfect record in the UEFA Champions League group phase. The Reds have already beaten Atletico Madrid and LASK and will look to produce another memorable European night under the lights at Anfield.

However, they do have a few injury concerns ahead of the game. Jeremie Frimpong suffered an injury vs Brentford and was substituted six minutes after coming on, so he won't be available for this game.

Dom Szoboszlai suffered a similar fate, but his injury isn't serious, so it remains to be seen if he's risked for this one. Cody Gakpo returned to the matchday squad vs Brentford but didn't feature, so he is likely to start in attack to provide some fresh legs for Andoni Iraola.

Alexander Isak played 78 minutes on his injury return and scored the winner last week. However, Liverpool will want to err on the side of caution with him, giving Lewis Koumas another opportunity to impress.

Ryan Gravenberch is another player who is expected to start after missing the game against Brentford due to a suspension.
