Behind Enemy Lines: Villa wary of the wounded animal, the defender Liverpool should’ve signed & the missing £100m man

Liverpool will be seeking to put right their 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa earlier this season when the sides meet again at Anfield in the race for the Champions League spots. Matt Addison picked up the phone to Birmingham Live's Aston Villa reporter Ashley Preece ahead of the game to get the lowdown on Dean Smith's men, who will be without star man Jack Grealish for the clash. Who are the players to watch out for without Grealish, and who could cause Liverpool problems? Certainly, £28m summer signing Ollie Watkins could be one of those, while Enri Konza at the back has proven to be an astute signing - he was being tentatively linked with a move to Anfield, in fact, before agreeing a new contract at Villa Park last week. Enjoy.
