The penultimate fixture of the weekend in the English Premier League is between Liverpool and Aston Villa on the 3rd of September.
The game will be played at Anfield and the hosts are currently 4th in the table on 7 points while the visitors are in 7th place on 6 points.
Liverpool come into the match on the back of a tremendous 2-1 win at Newcastle United last weekend in the Premier League.
With Newcastle United 1-0 up and Liverpool down to ten men, it appeared there was no way back into the game for the away team.
However, Liverpool equalised in the 81st minute and scored a sensational winner in the 93rd minute to take maximum points.
The win at Newcastle United means Liverpool are undefeated in the Premier League this season. They started the campaign with a 1-1 draw at Chelsea and picked up their first victory of the season thanks to a 3-1 home win over Bournemouth.
Trends show Liverpool have not been beaten in their last 14 straight clashes in the Premier League and have lost only 2 of their last 21 league fixtures.
There have been 13 consecutive Premier League games for Liverpool in which they managed to score at least one goal. Liverpool are in good form at home and they have won 8 of their last 10 home Premier League matches.
Aston Villa make the trip to Anfield having confirmed their place in the group stages of the Europa Conference League thanks to a 3-0 home win over Hibernian in the second leg of their playoff.
The hard work had already been completed in the away leg last week, a game which Aston Villa won 5-0 in Scotland.
In terms of the Premier League, Aston Villa started the season poorly with a heavy 5-1 loss at Newcastle United. However.
Aston Villa bounced back well from that defeat to beat Everton 4-0 at home and followed that with a good 3-1 win at Burnley in the Premier League last weekend.
Trends show Aston Villa are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 Premier League fixtures. Aston Villa have not lost a match in 15 of their last 18 games in the Premier League but have recorded just a single victory from their last 5 away league matches.
Aston Villa have scored at least one goal in 12 of their last 14 away Premier League games.
Team news and Liverpool will be without suspended central defender Virgil van Dijk.
Ibrahima Konaté and Thiago Alcantara are injured while there are doubts over the fitness of Curtis Jones.
Aston Villa have a significant injury list including Philippe Coutinho, Tyrone Mings, Tim Iroegbunam, Leander Dendoncker, and Emiliano Buendia. They also have doubts over the fitness of Emiliano Martinez, Jacob Ramsey, and Alex Moreno.
We expect to see goals in this game, with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals in total. Aston Villa have improved since their big defeat at Newcastle United but Liverpool will be feeling confident following their dramatic win last weekend.
Liverpool should have the edge playing at home and could win by a single goal margin.
