Liverpool take on the visitors Aston in the round 11 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, November 9th at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool have spent nearly a decade playing successfully under Klopp, who led them to their long-awaited Premier League title and a slew of other trophies, including the Champions League and the League Cup six months ago. By then, Klopp had already announced his departure and handed over a well-prepared squad to his chosen successor, Slot, bringing Liverpool back to peak form and making them title contenders again. The club’s management kept the squad mostly intact over the summer, with only the budget-friendly addition of Chiesa, and Arne Slot wisely maintained Klopp’s foundation, adding a few tweaks of his own. As a result, Liverpool remains competitive in the League Cup, started their Champions League campaign with wins, and in the Premier League, their only notable setback was a surprising 0-1 loss to Nottingham Forest. They dropped points only against Arsenal, ending with a thrilling draw in London. Last weekend, they defeated Brighton again, this time in the Premier League, and in midweek, they thrashed Bayer 4-0 in the Champions League.

Aston Villa maintains momentum this season. Two years ago, Villa brought in Unai Emery, who was eager to prove himself in England after his struggles with Arsenal. Emery immediately elevated Villa to seventh place, and last season, after a run in the Conference League from summer qualifiers to spring playoffs, they finished fourth, ahead of Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham. This earned Villa a place in the Champions League, where they’ve impressed. Emery’s tactical approach delivered a 1-0 win over Bayern, as well as solid, clean-sheet victories over Young Boys and Bologna. However, they then slipped with an unexpected loss to Brugge, possibly after already securing progression. Domestically, Villa’s League Cup run ended with a home loss to Crystal Palace. This seemed like a strategic move to offload extra matches, yet the team has since dropped some unplanned points in the league with draws against Ipswich (2-2) and Bournemouth (1-1). Most recently, they suffered a 1-4 defeat to Tottenham.
Liverpool are unbeaten in the last eight meetings, mostly winning. However, two of the last three encounters ended in draws. With the visitors struggling for form, this looks like a good opportunity to bet on a Liverpool win with a -1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.0 handicap.
