Liverpool VS Aston Villa Match Prediction

The reverse fixture, played behind closed doors earlier in the season, will be talked about for years to come as Aston Villa defeated Liverpool 7-2 at Villa Park. There were goals from Ollie Watkins (3), Jack Grealish (2), John McGinn and Ross Barkley with Mohamed Salah hitting the two consolation strikes for the champions. That result also went against the historical trend, Liverpool have won 97 times against Villa compared with 59 defeats and 40 draws.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa Prediction

If Dean Smith is still unable to call on Jack Grealish then it will make Aston Villa’s trip to Anfield all the more difficult. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will undoubtedly still be nervous and carrying a hangover from previous league defeats, but if they don’t have to face Grealish’s guile then it will give them a boost. We are backing both sides to score and Liverpool to avenge the heavy league defeat from October, but in not quite the same style.

Correct Score Prediction: Liverpool 4-2 Aston Villa

Aston Villa Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Liverpool’s are certainly emerging from their awful period of form but it won’t be officially over until they halt their run of successive league defeats at Anfield. Wins and clean sheets at Wolves and Arsenal have shown excellent signs of recovery, but they are still a far cry from the all-swaggering, all-beating side from the 2019-20 season. Villa will have been delighted to end their run of poor form with three points at home against Fulham, however they still lack a cutting edge against the better teams in the division and may struggle to break down Liverpool if Grealish remains absent.

After not losing at home in 68 league matches, Liverpool have lost their last 6 Premier League games at Anfield.
