Aston Villa take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 17 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, December 26th at Villa Park (Birmingham).
Aston Villa were actively preparing for the restart of the season, having played a total of four test matches. Unai Emery needed to get to know the team, look at his new charges in action and work out different game schemes. True, of these four meetings, the Birmingham’s club won only once. 2022 World Cup hero Emiliano Martinez is unlikely to help Aston Villa against Liverpool. And without an expressive, but very reliable goalkeeper, it will be incredibly difficult for the hosts to hold back the onslaught of the Reds' star attack.

It is clear that Jurgen Klopp in the match against Aston Villa on Boxing day will not be able to count on all his leaders. However, in any version of the composition, Liverpool will be stronger than Aston Villa. Yes, and the same Mohammed Salah missed the whole World Cup and missed the game. There is nowhere left for Liverpool to go. Only the sixth line in the table will force the visitors to play only in attack. Liverpool already in early November came to his senses, and began to win. Wards Klopp won the last four official meetings at once before a long pause in the season.
Liverpool and Aston Villa have been at different points in football evolution in recent years. It is not surprising that Jurgen Klopp's wards have won the last four head-to-head matches in a row. The last time the teams met was in Birmingham in May. The Reds then won 2-1. Logically, Unai Emery's team is the underdog in this meeting. You can bet on the success of Aston Villa for 4.72 with 4.14 for a draw and 1.74 for a Liverpool victory. It is likely that the work of Unai Emery contributes to the progress of Aston Villa. But in a home game against a gradually recovering Liverpool, Aston Villa will have minimal chances to take points.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win.
