Aston Villa vs Liverpool Prediction
Villa have produced inconsistent displays throughout the season, recording less than half of their wins on home turf (6 of 13). Since their memorable 7-2 win at home against the Reds in the 2020-21 season, they have lost next three with an aggregate score of 7-2.
Meanwhile, the Reds have produced remarkable displays throughout the season. Saturday's draw against Spurs was likely because of fatigue catching up as they remain in the fray for an unprecedented quadruple.
The Reds should produce a strong performance and bounce back with a win against their southern rivals.
