Aston Villa is aiming to recover from a 2-0 defeat in the Conference League against Olympiacos, where Ayoub El Kaabi scored. The team has struggled to prevent scoring in five of their last six matches, allowing 10 goals. Aston Villa has not won over Liverpool in their last six league games and has been undefeated in their last four home matches.

Liverpool, who won their last Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur, are set to face Tottenham Hotspur in a match that ended in a 4-2 draw. The team managed 46% possession and 25 shots on goal, with Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo, and Harvey Elliott scoring for Liverpool. However, they have been scored against in five of their last six matches, with opposing teams scoring eight goals. Liverpool’s past form suggests they have not been beaten by Aston Villa in away games and have not won away from home in their last two matches.

Aston Villa has been struggling in past fixtures with Liverpool, losing 83% of them. The two teams have scored a total of 16 goals, with 4 for The Villans and 12 for The Reds. The previous match between the two was a Premier League match on 03/09/2023, where Liverpool had 64% possession and 17 attempts at goal, with 4 on target. Aston Villa had 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, and Matty Cash scored an own goal. The match was refereed by Simon Hooper.

Aston Villa’s Unai Emery will not have Emiliano Buendía, Boubacar Kamara, Álex Moreno, Tyrone Mings, and Jacob Ramsey available for the match against Aston Villa. The Villans will line up in a 4-4-2 formation, featuring Emiliano Martinez, Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Francisco Torres, Lucas Digne, Matty Cash, Douglas Luiz, John McGinn, Moussa Diaby, Leon Bailey, and Ollie Watkins.

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp faces availability issues with Thiago, Ben Doak, and Joel Matip, leading to a 4-3-3 system for the game. The Reds are likely to start with Alisson, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson, Elliot, Endo, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, and Díaz.
