FA Cup 2021- Aston Villa Vs Liverpool Fantasy Team Picks
Goal-Keeper
Touted to be the club’s main goal-keeper since his move, Tom Heaton has never really gotten his career going at the club. However, that takes nothing from his calibre as a player, a shot stopper who is amongst one of the finest in the country.
Defenders
Although Liverpool are set to dish out a backline comprising fully of young players today, we envisage the club still coming out unscathed from the encounter. With their opponents run to the ground by a bout of Coronavirus cases, Liverpool should have little qualms in pulling off a cleansheet.
It sees us opt for a triad of picks from the club, one comprising of Neco Williams, Fabinho and Nathaniel Phillips.
Midfielders
For the likes of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xherdan Shaqiri and Takumi Minamino, this fixture comes bearing with it massive ramifications. Despite injuries, the three have been accorded with frugal minutes in the Premier League.
Looking to earn Klopp’s trust, the three will come out hammer and tongs. Accompanying them is Custis Jones with the starlet having impressed in his last couple of showings for the club.
The opposition meanwhile will feature the electric Marvellous Nakamba.
Strikers
Given the approach both the clubs are likely to take for this encounter, a goals galore contest could easily be on the cards today. It sees us opt for Anwar El-Ghazi who has three goals in his last four outings and the enigmatic Bertrand Traore.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Shaqiri’s goal the last time around makes him our captain while Minamino is the vice-captain.
