Aston Villa vs Liverpool: Information to know

NGUYỄN ĐĂNG |

Liverpool will assess Alisson Becker and Florian Wirtz's ability to play in the match against Aston Villa, while Konate and Salah are eligible to play.

Striker Salah has recovered from a muscle injury that has caused him to be sidelined for the last two matches and may participate in the last away match in his Liverpool career.

Goalkeeper Alisson is currently close to returning to play after being sidelined due to injury since mid-March this year.

Center-back Konate left the field in the second half of the draw with Chelsea last weekend, while Wirtz was completely absent due to illness.

Sharing before the match against Aston Villa, Liverpool coach Arne Slot said: "Konate is still okay, has trained with us. Salah will only be able to play for a few minutes tomorrow, but hopefully he can come on.

Alisson is back training with us, let's see how he is tomorrow, whether he is ready or has to wait another week. Wirtz has a stomach infection, so let's see his health condition for tomorrow's match. He is taking antibiotics. Let's see if he is ready to play tomorrow.

Salah has participated in 130 goals (83 goals, 47 assists) in away matches in the Premier League, only Wayne Rooney (139), Ryan Giggs (137) and Harry Kane (135) are ranked above the Egyptian striker in this index.

Virgil van Dijk's total playing minutes in all competitions this season are currently 4,761 minutes – the most compared to any other Liverpool player since Jamie Carragher's 2007-2008 season (4,789 minutes).

Liverpool's long-term absent players are Stefan Bajcetic, Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni.

As for Aston Villa, this is their last match before entering the Europa League final against SC Freiburg next week.

The winning team in the Aston Villa vs Liverpool match will have a guaranteed opportunity to win a place in the Top 5 Premier League – and thereby win a spot to participate in the 2026-2027 Champions League season.

The home team will continue to be missing Amadou Onana, Alysson Edward and Boubacar Kamara due to injuries.

Harvey Elliott, who joined Aston Villa on loan from Liverpool in early September 2025, is not eligible to play in the match against his club.

Before the match, Villa coach Unai Emery shared: "We still have players absent. Amadou Onana cannot play tomorrow, Alysson too, Kamara too. But the players are all very ready.

For us, every match is very important. We are moving towards the final stage of the season, approaching the goal that the whole team has expected from the beginning of the season. Finishing the season in the Top 5 is really great”.

The Aston Villa vs Liverpool match will take place at 2:00 AM on May 16.
