Stat Attack
- Liverpool are unbeaten in their last seven league meetings against Aston Villa (W5, D2).
- Villa have failed to win any of their last six visits to Liverpool at Anfield (D1, L5).
- Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has scored in two of his last three appearances at home to Villa.
- Three of Salah’s seven league goals for Liverpool this season has been scored at home.
- Morgan Rogers has scored in each of Villa’s last three away games in the top-flight.
Prediction
Sat top of the domestic league and having clinically hammered Bayer Leverkusen in European action with a mature if patiently executed game, Liverpool simply need to continue their momentum here.
Villa meanwhile were unlucky to lose to Club Brugge by a silly decision but they need to produce more energetic performances, especially if want to win here after their defensive meltdown at Tottenham last weekend.
I however don’t see Villa having enough to beat Liverpool on current form in their last two matches.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Aston Villa
Result: Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa
