Last January 10, Aston Villa was defeated by the Red Devils even without the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch, which meant the elimination of the Lions from the Carabao Cup.
However, this Saturday's duel is different and Steven Gerrard is well aware of that, as he has declared that Philippe Coutinho will be able to make his debut this Saturday, January 15, with the Aston Villa shirt.
Therefore, the coach said at a press conference: Steve Gerrard at a press conference: "Philippe has trained with us for three days and has had no problems. We just have to work on his preparation for the game and his fitness".
The Brazilian midfielder is the Villa Park side's most recent acquisition, and they were on the verge of losing him to Tottenham Hotspur FC, were it not for the fact that Antonio Conte was not at all convinced that Coutinho should make the team.
Therefore, the Brazilian could be the surprise for this match against the Red Devils, who also did not start the match with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Everything seems to be ready for the match against Aston Villa, however this time Ralf Rangnick will be without Scott McTominay, who scored the winning goal against the Lions in the last game, due to suspension.
He will not be able to have Luke Shaw on the field either due to the same issue. While Eric Bailly is competing in the AFCON.
Rangnick will thus have to rethink his strategy to try to make up for their absences.
However, there could be good news on the horizon as Cristiano Ronaldo has apparently recovered from the muscle injury that cost him his presence in the previous game against Aston Villa.
