Now this is a game that should set pulses racing! I expect loads of action and entertainment at both ends (read "goals").
Two Champions League sides confront at Anfield in a much-anticipated English classic. Record-breakers Liverpool face Unai Emery's surprise pack in their last Premier League appearance before the international break and my Liverpool vs. Aston Vila predictions expect goals.
Read on for my Premier League predictions for Saturday, November 9.
EPL predictions for Liverpool vs Aston Villa
My best bet:
Over 3.5 (+120 at TonyBet)
My analysis
If we're talking recent history, know that there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 12 of the last 15 confrontations between Liverpool and Aston Villa in all competitions. Liverpool is in a great moment, as they started life under new manager Arne Slot on a high. The Reds have scored at least twice in 12 of their last 14 Premier League games. Reporting back to Aston Villa, Liverpool have netted at least two times in eight of their last ten clashes with the team from Birmingham.
The 4-0 win over Leverkusen in the Champions League helped Slot's record go on. He's now the Premier League manager who's won more games in all competitions than any other head coach at this stage of their tenure. Under the Dutchman, Liverpool have won 14 of their first 16 matches this season. But Villa will be also looking to up their play, as they are on a losing streak that could extend to four consecutive games if they don't contain Liverpool attacking prowess. I think they will be able to score as well in this tie, but Liverpool looks well-equipped to keep the points at home while also scoring to delight their supporters. If you feel there's more juice in this match, TonyBet has an excellent +270 return for the over 4.5 goals option.
Liverpool vs Aston Villa same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 3.5
Liverpool 1H moneyline
Over 4.5 corners
There should be much tension in this, apart from the goals. Both teams come after a torrid few weeks, with games in the Champions League, the League Cup, as well as the Premier League. This creates the perfect context for cards, so I wouldn't leave them out of my parlay. Referee David Coote will be in charge for this match. He has shown at least three cards per game in each of his last 16 outings.
Liverpool will look to put things straight as fast in the game as possible, to avoid the energy slipping away in the second half. I believe they will look for goals in the first half in order to conserve their resources in the second part of the game, given that international matches are just days away and a lot of the players in both teams will need to report for duty for their respective countries.
