Aston Villa vs Liverpool Preview

Liverpool will continue their quest for the Premier League title this Tuesday when they travel to Birmingham to face their former player Steven Gerrard and his improving Aston Villa side.

The hosts who are unbeaten in their last three games will look to make it three wins in three PL games when they welcome the title-chasers to Villa Park on Tuesday night.

They come into this game on the back of a 3-1 over Burnley last time out. That win followed a 2-0 win over Norwich (2-0) and brought Gerrard’s men into 11th place ahead of this round of games.

They face Liverpool sitting one point behind Crystal Palace who are in tenth place and have played a game more. And so, with three more games until the end of the season, they have a chance to push for a top-ten finish. For a team that were at one point in the season considered relegation material, a top-half finish will represent a decent finish. And so even though he would love to help his former side win the title, Steven Gerrard will be desperate to win this game to ensure that he can achieve a top ten finish.

However the form of Liverpool makes winning this game a tough assignment. The Reds are unbeaten in their last 14 games in all competitions (W11, D3). They have not lost a PL game in 2022, winning 13 times and drawing three. They have scored 2+ goals in four of their last five games played outside of Anfield and are the second-highest scoring team in the league behind Manchester City.

After being held by a 1-1 draw against Tottenham, Klopp’s men will look to get their title quest back on track. A win in this game keeps them on the toes of league leaders Manchester City while a win by a 5+ goal margin will see them go top of the league at least temporarily until Pep Guardiola’s side plays Wolves on Wednesday.
