Aston Villa vs Liverpool Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

There have been a total of 33 goals produced in the last seven Premier League clashes between the Reds and the Villans.

Aston Villa are ready to host Liverpool in Matchday 26 of the Premier League 2024-25 season. The Villans are in the ninth spot in the league standings as they have won 10 matches in 25 games so far. The Reds are at the top because they have been able to bag 18 wins in the same amount of games.

Aston Villa were held to a draw in their last Premier League game against Ipswich Town. Although they have added a couple of players to their squad, they failed to score goals. The Villans dropped a couple of points. If they had won the game they might have won their previous game it could have taken them a couple of points up.

Liverpool secured a win in their previous league game which will keep them confident coming into their match against Aston Villa. The Reds defeated the Wolves which helped them earn three points. Arne Slot’s men are doing well and will be looking to secure three more points against the Villans. But it is not going to be an easy affair for Liverpool.

Players to Watch

Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa)

Although he started on the bench in the last match but he was brought in and he played for around 40 minutes and surely left an impact on the field. Marcus Rashford took a brilliant free-kick but it hit the woodwork and Ollie Watkins hit the rebound shot in for a goal which levelled the score for Aston Villa. Rashford will play a key role for the Villans and will be looking to create a linkup play with Ollie Watkins.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

The Premier League’s top scorer for the ongoing season will be in action once again. Leading the attack from the right side, Mohamed Salah opens up spaces for his fellow teammates to score goals. Arne Slot will make sure Salah starts for Liverpool in their upcoming league clash against the Villans. The Egypt national football team winger will surely give a tough to his opponents while being on the field.
