Preview: Aston Villa vs Liverpool prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Premier League 2025-26
The Reds are unbeaten in their last 11 meetings against the Villans.
Aston Villa will now go head-to-head against Liverpool FC for their matchweek 37 fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League. Villa Park is going to witness this entertaining and high-intensity clash.
The Unai Emery-led side are coming after being held to a 2-2 draw by Burnley FC in their last league game. It was a close fixture and they only managed to secure a point.
The Villans are in fifth place on the league table. This also guarantees a Champions League spot for them heading into the next season.
Aston Villa are going to be at their home ground for their next fixture. It can also be a big advantage for them. They must not drop points in the upcoming league game, as it can make things tougher for them.
Arne Slotâs men have the same points on the Premier League points table as the Villans. To secure the UEFA Champions League spot for the next season, they must avoid defeat.
The Reds have not been in top form this season, but when it comes to performing against Villa, they havenât faced a defeat in their last 11 meetings. Liverpool FC were held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea in their previous matchup.
It was an underwhelming effort by them. The Reds will be away from home for their next one, making the situation somewhat pressurising for them.
