The two teams for today’s Villa v Liverpool match have been announced. The only change Liverpool have made to the side that won 3-0 against Anderlecht on Tuesday sees Djibril Cisse coming in for Peter Crouch. Crouch is therefore denied a start against his former club, unlike former Red Milan Baros who is selected for Villa alongside Kevin Phillips.
