Reds to pounce on stumbling hosts
Under Unai Emery's management, Aston Villa has experienced a remarkable season, potentially securing a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. Their fate could be sealed even before Monday's kickoff, depending on Tottenham's performance against Burnley on Saturday.
However, the Villans seem to be stumbling in the final stretch of the campaign. With just one point from their last two Premier League matches and elimination from the Europa Conference League after defeats to Olympiakos, they appear to be struggling to maintain momentum.
Fatigue may play a factor, especially following Thursday's 2-0 loss in Greece, as they prepare to face Liverpool. The Reds, on the other hand, appear rejuvenated after a convincing 4-0 victory over Tottenham last weekend.
Jurgen Klopp's impending departure adds significance to this match, and historically, he has a strong record against Aston Villa, with eight wins and only one loss in 10 league encounters. However, that lone defeat was a memorable 7-2 thrashing at an empty Villa Park in October 2020.
Expect goals in Monday's fixture, considering Villa's scoring record in recent games and Liverpool's defensive struggles, having not kept a clean sheet in their last nine league outings. Nevertheless, the preference is for Liverpool to secure all three points.
