Liverpool vs. Aston Villa Match Analysis and Prediction

The taste of revenge and redemption remains the main agenda for Liverpool on their return home fixture against new-found rivals Aston Villa. The match schedules for Saturday at Anfield with kickoff at 6 pm.

Many would say the rain started hitting the Champions following their 7-2 loss to Aston Villa earlier in Villa Park in October. It marked one of their nine defeats this season that leaves them playing catch-up for the top four race.

There were a lot of stakes in the air six months ago when the two sides locked horns. However, the Reds will feel they have much to prove, especially after finding themselves on the wrong end of one of the most remarkable Premier League scorelines of all time.

It was an incredible title defense start to the Reds’ season heading into the fateful day at Villa Park, which boasts of a 100% record of three wins in three. Also, it included back-to-back victories against London sides Chelsea and Arsenal.

In hindsight, it followed what could stand as one of the worst title defenses to retain this season. Injuries started flowing in and out, thus causing strain and adding to a first leg 3-1 loss to Real Madrid.

On the other hand, Aston Villa is having a steady season, currently ninth in the league with 44 points and three points behind Everton.
