Only four teams can boast of having a 100% clean win record in the Premier League as we head into game week 4. One team is bound to lose its winning streak as Aston Villa welcome the defending Champions Liverpool. The match schedules for Sunday with kickoff at 9:15 pm.
Deam Smith’s side has won two of their only two matches so far in the league. It is different for defending champions Liverpool with three wins in their last outings with their title defense on the line.
One of these teams is currently on their longest unbeaten run in the Premier League, and it’s not Liverpool. After a great escape for the relegation battle last season, Aston Villa have now six top-flight matches without a loss. The side has four wins, which marked their only wins in their previous 25 games.
It has been a mouth-watering transfer window for Aston Villa with several prospects under Dean Smith’s side. Smith’s side is the only team left in the Premier League yet to concede a goal with clean sheets against Sheffield United and Fulham.
Liverpool edged out of the EFL Cup in the midweek fixture against Arsenal. Jurgen Klopp saw this side lost out on penalties for a second time this season against Arsenal. The most memorable one was during the community shield.
