Aston Villa v Liverpool – Friday, 8pm
View all available markets at William Hill.
- Aston Villa have won just one of their last five games, luckily for the Villans that victory was enough to secure them a spot in the UEFA Europa League final next Wednesday, they’d love to head into that final having already secured UEFA Champions League football via their Premier League position.
- Unai Emery has to be careful here, his side sit fifth with a four point gap but with this game followed up with a trip to Manchester City on the final day, their UCL spot could be under threat if they lose here, an expected rotated XI are 19/10 to win on Friday night with William Hill.
- Aston Villa have won just one of their last sixteen Premier League games against Liverpool, it’s also worth noting that each of the last six meetings here have seen both teams score in all competitions, with the last ten such games producing at least three goals.
——————————– - Liverpool sit fourth in the Premier League and above Villa only on goal difference, a 1-1 draw against Chelsea last weekend means the Reds also need three points here to secure a UCL spot for next season following a disappointing campaign from the Reds.
- Arne Slot’s side have won just one of their last six games on the road in all competitions, they’ve lost eleven games in the Premier League this season with eight of those coming away from home, the Reds can be backed at 5/4 to improve that away form with a win here.
- Liverpool have scored two or more goals in each of the last eight league visits to Villa Park, neither side have impressed in recent weeks though so calling this one is tough, making goals the betting angle on Friday evening.
