Liverpool
Arne Slot's charges have returned to the top of the table, overtaking Manchester City by two points. This happened after Liverpool's victory over Brighton (2:1) and the Citizens' defeat to Bournemouth with the same score. Liverpool's unbeaten streak has grown to six matches in the league (5 wins and 1 draw). It's worth noting the club's defense, which has conceded only six goals, making it the best in the Premier League.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, forwards Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa, as well as midfielder Harvey Elliott will miss the meeting due to injuries.
- Exactly two or three goals were scored in 8 of Liverpool's last 11 Premier League games.
- No more than three goals were scored in 10 of the club's last 11 Premier League encounters.
- Liverpool's uncompromising home streak in the league consists of 10 matches (8 wins and 2 defeats).
Aston Villa
The Birmingham side ended a 7-match unbeaten run in the league, which included 4 wins and 3 draws. In their last match, Unai Emery's men suffered their second defeat in the current Premier League campaign, losing heavily on the road to Tottenham with a score of 1:4. As a result, the club lost its place in the top four, dropping to sixth. However, they are only behind fourth-placed Chelsea on additional indicators.
Midfielder Ross Barkley is out of action due to injury.
- Both teams scored in 7 of Aston Villa's last 8 Premier League games.
- At least three goals were scored in 6 of the club's last 8 league matches.
- Two or more goals were scored in the second half in 7 of the Birmingham side's last 9 Premier League matches.
Liverpool vs Aston Villa: Match Prediction
Both teams played matches in the Champions League just before this one, but Liverpool had one extra day of rest. This will not be a key factor, but it still plays in favor of the upcoming match's hosts. Liverpool is in excellent form, as was evident from their game against Bayer in the European cup (4:0). Additionally, the team has won 6 out of their last 7 home Premier League matches.
Meanwhile, the Birmingham side is gradually slowing down. In their last five Premier League encounters, the club has only one victory – against Fulham. It's also worth paying attention to the statistics in head-to-head confrontations. Liverpool has won 10 of the last 13 previous personal encounters in the Premier League. In this series of games, Liverpool scored at least two goals 11 times.
Furthermore, Liverpool has scored two or more goals in 6 of their last 7 home games in the Premier League. Therefore, I believe that the hosts will win and score at least two goals. My prediction is for Liverpool to win and for there to be over 1.5 goals for the team, with odds of 1.67.
