Liverpool player who could have his last game against Aston Villa

The fight for the privileged places to attend next year's European competitions continues in England, and with the resumption of the Premiere League, Liverpool will seek to close the year with as many points as possible and thus climb in the standings where they are currently sixth with 22 points. Against Aston Villa the Red's could close the gap on United, who are in 5th place.

This game is special, as it is played on the Big Island on Boxing Day, the great holiday that unites the English people with football. To this great event could be added the farewell of a star of The Pool, who could have already counted his minutes. The 29-year-old Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who after returning from a hamstring injury suffered last summer, has not been the same.

Chamberlain has been a regular for manager Jürgen Klopp in the Red's recent games, with the EFL 1/16 EFL Final clash with Derby County the last time he played in full court, something that hasn't happened for more than half a year. OX arrived at Anfield in 2017 from Arsenal, where according to the statistics he had his best moments, being constantly called up to the England squad.

Now with his contract coming to an end soon, Alex's days at Anfield could be numbered and reports from the capital even reveal that OX is already in contact with other clubs on the Big Island to offer his services. Oxlade-Chamberlain's present could be at a bottom club who require him in the fight to stay in the Premiere League, so an early exit is highly possible.

Chamberlain is on his last legs at Anfield

The Red's head to Villa Park on Monday with the obligation to win the first of two games remaining in 2022, and after clashing with the Villans they would be hosting Leicester City at Anfield. According to pundits, The Pool have a good chance of winning both games, despite losing at the Etihad to Manchester City in the EFL Cup a few days ago, which would give Klopp's boys a hunger for revenge.
