Our Prediction
Liverpool comes from an intense Champions League clash against Real Madrid. They still want to reach the Champions League and thus, can’t afford to lose any point in the Premier League.
Aston Villa can potentially also still reach the Premier League spots that qualify for international football next season. They are 5 point behind Liverpool with one game less played. We expect to see a good version of the Liverpool team and that Klopp’s team will take all three points by a small margin.
