Aston Villa are out to avenge a disappointing loss against Liverpool in their most recent meeting. According to the bookmakers, the home side could be in for another tough ride.

They simultaneously allowed their opponents 13 goals, or an average of 1.3 goals a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool Prediction

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa beat Manchester United by 3-1, lost 4-2 against Manchester United, before defeating Brighton 1-2. Aston Villa won three of their previous six matches at Villa Park in the Premier League. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring nine goals to five against.

In a season where everything simply clicks, Aston Villa might even reach the upper third of the table but right now, they are on course for a solid mid-table finish.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool added four points to their collection in their last three matches, which began with a 0-0 draw with Derby. A 3-1 win against Southampton followed, before a 3-2 defeat against Manchester City in their most recent match. Liverpool only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Premier League. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by nine goals to seven.

Liverpool were spoken of as contenders for a title, but current form has them running a little behind in the Premier League.

Both Aston Villa and visitors Liverpool seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.

Aston Villa enjoy a record of five wins, three draws and seven defeats in the Premier League this season. Liverpool put six wins, four draws and four defeats on the board in the Premier League.

Liverpool to win

Bookmakers have Liverpool down as rather big favourites for the win against Aston Villa. While the hosts will obviously come out fighting, we still think the visitors will prevail in the end.
