Liverpool and Aston Villa clash in an unusual Premiership time – Saturday night 9 pm. That’s because this is the game of the day, with two former European champs and current title contenders squaring off with one another.
Liverpool News
It was wonderful seeing the Reds on Tuesday night in the Champions League when they ripped apart Bayer Leverkusen. The final score was 4-0 for the hosts, who couldn’t score in the opening 45 minutes, yet blew away the guests in the second sequence.
This was the sixth straight win for the Reds at home, and in each of those events, Arne Slot’s crew scored at least twice. The overall goal difference during this stretch was 18-3 in their favor.
Aston Villa News
Aston Villa is in free fall. They haven’t won in four consecutive events, suffering three successive losses in their previous appearances. After losing at home to Crystal Palace, they had back-to-back defeats on the road vs. Tottenham and, most recently, Club Brugge, 1-0, in the Champions League.
Now, this is one of the worst stretches Aston Villa endured under Unai Emery. If they don’t overcome this crisis soon enough, we can say that their top-four plans will be over.

Last season, they beat the Villains 3-0 at home and then played 3-3 at Villa Park.
