Liverpool Eye 10-Point Lead as They Face Aston Villa in Rearranged Premier League Clash
Liverpool will have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 10 points on Wednesday night when they face Aston Villa. This match was originally scheduled for March 15 but was moved due to Liverpool’s involvement in the Carabao Cup final. Aston Villa had requested another postponement, given both teams’ busy schedules, but the Premier League denied the request.
Ahead of this crucial match at Villa Park, here’s a breakdown of both teams’ recent form, injury news, and key details, with betting odds available on the Jojobet official site.
Recent Form (Last Six Premier League Games)
- Aston Villa: W2, D3, L1, Goals For: 7, Goals Against: 7, Points: 9
Villa have struggled to secure wins in their last four league games, with their most recent victory coming at Goodison Park in mid-January. Their last two home league matches ended in frustrating draws against West Ham and Ipswich. Despite this dip in form, they remain in the hunt for a European spot, sitting just six points behind fourth-placed Manchester City. - Liverpool: W4, D2, L0, Goals For: 13, Goals Against: 5, Points: 14
Liverpool have only suffered three defeats in all competitions since January, with a strong Premier League record—unbeaten since a shock home loss to Nottingham Forest in mid-September. Despite dropping six points in 2024 due to draws, the Reds have been potent in attack, scoring at least twice in every league game since early October, except for a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Where to Watch Aston Villa vs Liverpool
The match will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports, with kickoff set for 7:30 PM on Wednesday.
Team News
- Aston Villa: The team will be missing six key players—Boubacar Kamara, Amadou Onana, Ezri Konsa, Matty Cash, Pau Torres, and Ross Barkley are all unavailable. Leon Bailey remains a doubt and faces a late fitness test.
- Liverpool: The Reds will be without Joe Gomez, Tyler Morton, and Cody Gakpo due to injuries. However, Curtis Jones returns to the squad after serving a one-match suspension in the 2-0 win over Wolves on Sunday.
Match Prediction
Liverpool will need to perform much better at Villa Park compared to their recent struggles against Midlands opposition. Their return to winning ways last weekend helped ease some pressure after setbacks against Plymouth Argyle and Everton. However, Aston Villa boasts an impressive home record, remaining unbeaten in all competitions at Villa Park since October, when they lost to Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.
That said, Liverpool’s attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, and Luis Díaz has the quality to break down any defense. A tight contest is expected, and we’re predicting a 2-1 away victory for the Reds.
