The upcoming Premier League clash between Liverpool and Aston Villa promises to be an intriguing encounter, particularly given the contrasting forms of both teams. Liverpool, currently unbeaten in their last 12 matches, aims to consolidate their position at the top of the table . In contrast, Aston Villa has experienced a minor setback with three consecutive defeats, which may affect their confidence as they travel to Anfield. The match is crucial for both sides: Liverpool seeks to maintain momentum while Villa looks to halt their losing streak.
The Reds entered the weekend with a two-point lead at the summit of the table, having earned a hard-fought win over Brighton last weekend, though they face an Aston Villa side that is once again competing at the business end of proceedings.
Despite a solid start to the season, Unai Emery’s side lost 4-1 to Tottenham last weekend, before slipping to a frustrating 1-0 defeat at Club Brugge in the Champions League in midweek thanks to Tyrone Mings’s moment of madness.
Emery will want to pick his troops up off the canvas when they travel to Anfield – a ground they haven’t won at Anfield since September 2014 when Gabby Agbonlahor bagged the winner.
Villa boss Emery has issued a massive challenge to his squad when they play Liverpool as they attempt to break that 10-year record.
Liverpool possible starting lineup: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Nunez
Aston Villa possible starting lineup: Martinez; Konsa, Torres, Carlos, Digne; Onana, Tielemans; McGinn, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins
Meanwhile, Arne Slot has also commented on Emery’s playing style ahead of the mouth-watering clash, with Chris Sutton now sharing his prediction.

Liverpool also featured in that competition in midweek, hammering Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 to move top of the table, and they welcome a Villa side who will be hoping to cause an upset in Merseyside as they look to stay around the Champions League places.
Aston Villa's team news appears favorable as no significant injuries have been reported . However, Matty Cash will miss the trip due to an unspecified issue. This absence could influence Villa's tactical approach against a formidable Liverpool side eager for victory before the international break. For fans wishing to watch this pivotal matchup live, it will be available on various platforms including TNT Sports in the UK and Peacock in the United States.
