Paul Gorst - Milner returns and Diaz gets a breather
It's difficult to know what sort of team Jurgen Klopp might field this evening with the FA Cup final on the horizon.
The Premier League hopes are still technically alive, but with a third trip to Wembley to come on Saturday afternoon, and the title looking more difficult after the draw with Tottenham, Klopp's team will be interesting.
In goal, Alisson Becker keeps his place in front of a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Kostas Tsimikas. Andy Robertson has been carefully managed of late and this game might be the ideal place to rest the Scotland captain entirely.

In midfield, I'm recalling James Milner after his excellent showing against Newcastle United, with Fabinho and Jordan Henderson also in the engine room. I'm saving Naby Keita and Thiago Alcantara for Wembley.
Up top, Luis Diaz can drop out with Diogo Jota leading the line down the middle. The Colombian has been exceptional since he joined in January but no player has played more than his 61 games for club and country this season, so he can have a rare breather. On the bench if needed.
My team (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Henderson, Milner; Salah, Jota, Mane.
Ian Doyle - Loads of changes
Can Liverpool still win the Premier League? Of course! Will they win the Premier League? Probably not. They can, though, most definitely win the FA Cup, the final of which is on Saturday. And that might come into Jurgen Klopp's thinking at Aston Villa this evening, although it's more likely the exertions against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday will have the biggest influence over team selection. Regardless, I'd be making changes. Loads of them.
In goal remains Alisson Becker. And while Virgil van Dijk also keeps his place, the rest of the defence doesn't. So say hello to Joe Gomez at right-back, Kostas Tsimikas at left-back and Joel Matip at centre-back.
Midfield also sees a whole lotta rotation. Jordan Henderson can stay but drop into the defensive role, with James Milner and Naby Keita coming back to reprise the engine room at Newcastle United the other week. The alternative is to give Curtis Jones a run-out ahead of Keita.
Up top, Mohamed Salah is the mainstay as he's due a goal burst, but I'd bring Diogo Jota in on the left and Divock Origi down the middle. And if you think that's an interesting team, wait until you see what I've got lined up for Southampton next week if things go awry tonight...
My team (4-3-3): Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Henderson, Milner, Keita; Salah, Origi, Jota.
Charlotte Coates - Up front things get tricky
Well, it's FA Cup final week, but before Liverpool can start thinking about lifting another trophy, they have a huge game to contend with in the Premier League title race as they take on Aston Villa tonight.
Steven Gerrard will want the Reds to win the title, but he knows his job is to produce results for Villa and that is exactly what he'll be trying to do this evening at Villa Park.
Here's how I think Jurgen Klopp will line Liverpool up tonight as Alisson Becker keeps his place in goal with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kostas Tsimikas as the full-backs - the latter giving Andy Robertson the chance of a rest. Virgil van Dijk will partner Joel Matip in the heart of the defence and Fabinho will sit just in front of them. Either side of the Liverpool No.3 will be Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita.
Now, this is where things get tricky. Luis Diaz has to keep his place on the left of the front three with Sadio Mane lining up down the middle and Mohamed Salah needing a goal on the right-hand side.
My team (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van DIjk, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Keita, Thiago; Salah, Mane, Diaz.
