Liverpool vs Aston Villa Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Reds eye cementing the top spot with a win over Villa.
With the chants of “You Will Never Walk Alone”, Match Week 11 of the Premier League takes us to the Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, where Liverpool FC are scheduled to lock horns against Aston Villa.
Liverpool fans could have never imagined in their wildest of dreams that, following Jurgen Klopp’s departure, new manager Arne Slot would steer the club to such heights, positioning them atop both the Premier League and Champions League tables. Under Slot’s guidance, Liverpool have rediscovered their formidable form, showcasing relentless performances that have thrilled their supporters.
As they prepare to face Aston Villa in their next fixture, the Reds are eager to extend their winning streak and maintain their position at the pinnacle of both domestic and European football. Anfield will be buzzing with anticipation, ready to once again transform into a fortress as Liverpool look to deliver another electrifying performance against the Villa side.
Villa, who began their Premier League and Champions League campaigns on a strong note, now find themselves in a turbulent phase after suffering three consecutive setbacks. Currently 6th in the Premier League standings, Villa’s momentum first faltered with a 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth. Their struggles deepened when they were eliminated by Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup Round of 16.
This downward spiral continued as they endured a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, followed by a narrow loss in their recent Champions League fixture against Club Brugge. A solitary own goal by Vanaken handed Brugge the victory, breaking Villa’s perfect Champions League record. Villa will now be seeking to overcome this challenging period and regain their early-season form.

Players to Watch
Luis Diaz (Liverpool):
Few would have believed it possible if told that Luis Diaz would net a hat-trick against the historically formidable Bayer Leverkusen in a Champions League clash. Yet this spectacular feat became reality as the Colombian international delivered a memorable performance against the unbeaten German champions.
Hailing from Barrancas, Diaz has been in exceptional form for Liverpool, adding dynamic firepower to their attack. Having previously played for Atletico Junior and Porto, he joined Liverpool in 2022, where he has since accumulated 77 appearances and scored 21 goals. As Liverpool prepare to face Aston Villa, Diaz will be eager to extend his scoring streak and make an impact once again.
Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa)
The 27-year-old Belgian midfielder from Sint-Peters-Leeuw began his football journey with Anderlecht and Monaco before moving to Leicester City in 2019. There, he made over 100 appearances and became a key figure before joining Aston Villa in 2023.
His arrival has been instrumental in transforming Villa from a mid-table side to a top-four finisher, underscoring his influence and skill. With 74 caps and nine goals for the Belgian national team, he brings both experience and talent. As Villa navigate a challenging period, he will be eager to help his team regain their footing and return to winning form.
