Aston Villa is progressing under the management of Steven Gerrard. In four matches that the team played in the Premier League after his appointment, three victories and one defeat to Manchester City were recorded. It is noteworthy that the Lions scored two goals against their opponents in won games. Gerrard headed the Villains when they were in the immediate vicinity of the relegation zone. Now the team is in 10th place with 19 points scored in 15 rounds. In the current Premier League draw, Aston Villa shows itself as the most non-peaceful team. In 15 matches, only one draw was recorded, and the club gained six victories and suffered eight losses. The away statistics of the Villains are still very modest: two wins and five defeats.
In the previous season, Liverpool and Aston Villa crossed paths three times (two games in the Premier League and one confrontation in the FA Cup). All three matches ended with victories for the Reds. In addition, the teams aggrieved each other’s goalkeepers and scored Over 2.5 goals in all of them. Gerrard tries to cultivate in Aston Villa the same football that Liverpool plays today. But he's been heading the team for only a month, and it is foolish to expect that he will immediately be able to win at Anfield. Moreover, the Reds are now in their best shape over the past year and a half. Liverpool players are highly motivated, as they are only one point away from 1st place. They hardly intend to give three points to a team that has a lower class. Nevertheless, we will probably see an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
