Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has delivered a glowing tribute to Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita ahead of their Anfield farewells on Saturday afternoon.
Aston Villa travel to Merseyside for the Reds' final home game of the Premier League campaign, with a place in next season's Champions League still the focus for Jurgen Klopp and his side as they look to place themselves in a strong standing should either Newcastle United or Manchester United falter in their remaining fixtures.
However, Saturday's quest for a return to UEFA's premier competition will be a mere footnote in the Anfield annals in years to come as supporters brace themselves to wave goodbye to two of the most notable players of the Klopp era: Firmino and Milner, who have spent eight years and the club since signing under former manager Brendan Rodgers in the summer of 2015.
