How both teams go into Aston Villa vs Liverpool
Aston Villa’s campaign has not been comfortable as they try to balance Champions League qualification with replicating last season’s top-four finish. Currently, they sit in eighth place, six points behind Chelsea, who hold the coveted fourth spot. Consistency has been Villa’s biggest issue, having won only two of their last seven Premier League matches, both against teams in the bottom five (Leicester City and Everton). On the other hand, Liverpool are currently in a strong position. After their first 23 league matches, they have a six-point lead over second-place Arsenal and also have a game in hand. Under the management of Arne Slot, Liverpool has not lost a Premier League match in 19 games. During this run, they have failed to win only six times, with half of those defeats occurring away from home against top-six teams (Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Newcastle). Notably, Nottingham Forest is the only team to have beaten Liverpool this season and is also the only match in which Liverpool failed to score. In their last 16 outings, they have scored at least one goal in every game except for that match against Forest.
Aston Villa team news
Pau Torres will be unavailable for Aston Villa for an extended period, and Matty Cash may also miss this match. Additionally, Tyrone Mings, Ollie Watkins, and Ross Barkley are uncertain to play.
Liverpool team news
Trent Alexander-Arnold could return from a thigh injury before facing Aston Villa, which means Liverpool enters this fixture with a full squad and no players missing due to injury or suspension.
Aston Villa vs Liverpool head-to-head
