Aston Villa vs Liverpool Live Stats & Betting Odds
Aston Villa Prediction – Can Aston Villa extend unbeaten run at home?
Although they occupy a lowly 15th place on the Premier League ladder, Aston Villa will be in confident mood that they can at least make life difficult for this visiting Liverpool side as Saturday’s hosts have put together a 4-match unbeaten run at Villa Park.
Having lost 4 of their first 5 away matches of this new top flight season, it’s just as well Aston Villa have been able to produce results at Villa Park as the hosts have registered wins against Everton 2-0 and a 2-1 win against Brighton as well as draws with West Ham and Burnley.
Following this positive run of results at home, Villa’s opening home defeat to Bournemouth 2-1 seems to have been quickly forgotten, and the goals have also featured too at Villa Park as 3 of their 5 matches to date have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
The last 3 meetings on the trot between these two sides have also resulted in over 2.5 goals with Liverpool winning twice and Villa securing a 2-1 home win in the FA Cup back in 2015, so this trend could well continue in the west midlands on Saturday afternoon.
Liverpool Prediction – Can Liverpool move further ahead at top?
Where there’s Liverpool, there’s usually goals – and this was certainly the case in midweek when they drew 5-5 in an emphatic League Cup tie with Arsenal, with Liverpool running out eventual winners on penalties.
It’s back to the serious business of the Premier League on Saturday for Liverpool though as they look to turn an 8-point margin over 2nd placed Manchester City, into a possible 11-point cushion as they make their way down to the west midlands on Saturday afternoon to take on a resurgent Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Liverpool hold a good record away from home in the Premier League so far this season as their record of 4-1-0 9/3 indicates, and among the 4 wins at Southampton 2-1, Burnley 3-0, Chelsea 2-1 and a 1-0 win at Sheffield United, are 3 of the 4 victories also resulting in over 2.5 goals.
In addition, 6 of Liverpool’s last 9 away matches in the Premier League have seen over 2.5 goals, and having won 8 of these 9 matches on their travels, you’d have to think that Liverpool look set to grab another three points on the road in Birmingham this Saturday.

- 3 of Aston Villa’s 5 home matches to date have resulted in over 2.5 goals
