# Liverpool: Fans debate which midfield three should start against Aston Villa

**Liverpool fans have been [arguing](https://twitter.com/TheRedmenTV/status/1190263462766751747) about which three midfield players should start against Aston Villa on Saturday in the Premier League.**

With a big game on the horizon against Manchester City, the Reds have many [options](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/26/Show/England-Liverpool) to turn to if they are required to rotate personnel to prioritise their affair against the Citizens.

Fabinho is [one yellow card](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2019/11/jurgen-klopps-key-decision-vs-aston-villa-over-fabinho-balancing-act/) away from a one-match suspension, which manager Jurgen Klopp will be taking into consideration.

The German manager’s [favoured](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/26/Show/England-Liverpool) middle three has contained the Brazilian, alongside Georginio Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson. As a result, the likes of Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have [not seen much](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/26/Show/England-Liverpool) Premier League action during the current campaign.

With the former Arsenal man’s [stunning strike](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50148250) against his former club during the Carabao Cup tie, though, he has given the manager a selection headache.

Fans were [posting](https://twitter.com/TheRedmenTV/status/1190263462766751747) their suggestions as to who should start on social media in response to the question that was posted by The Redmen TV (via [@TheRedmenTV](https://twitter.com/TheRedmenTV/status/1190263462766751747)).

> Torn between playing Fab and saving him for Man City. Obviously need to win against Villla so our gap is as big as it can be before we play City.

> I don’t think Klopp is the type of manager to not play a player because of yellow card accumulation and have his mind that far into next week’s game against City.

> I really love Naby, but at what point do we label him as ‘injury prone’ and cut our losses? End of this season or see how he does next season?
