Preamble
What a stunning little bit of midweek Premier League frivolity we now have forward of us. There could be some Champions League motion occurring however in the event you BACK BRITAIN, then Villa Park is the place for you.
Stumbling Aston Villa, who sit ninth, are enjoying host to table-topplers Liverpool in a sport rearranged as Arne Slot is off to Wembley in just a few weeks for the Carabao Cup ultimate. Villa solely managed a draw with 10-man Ipswich on the weekend and have seemed off color for fairly a very long time, one thing that may be blamed on their ill-judged resolution to qualify for the Champions League. It won’t be continental motion however these appears like a major evening for the 2 groups.
Liverpool could be seven factors away from second-placed Arsenal however their current performances have underwhelmed. They have been knocked out of the FA Cup by Plymouth, drew with Everton and bungled their well past Wolves on the weekend. With a visit to Manchester Metropolis on the weekend, Liverpool have to get again on clean highway and a win at Villa Park might simply do this.
Kick-off: 7.30pm GMT.
