Liverpool, Recent FormIn their last match Liverpool enforced their superiority over Leicester City with a 3-0 away win. They achieved 67% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Leicester City's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Jürgen Klopp will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets, and playing at home this season, they have scored in 17 of their 18 games.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 7 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 9 games.
On an individual basis, Mohamed Salah has scored in each of Liverpool's last 8 league games at Anfield.
Aston Villa, Recent FormAston Villa will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Tottenham Hotspur. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Tottenham Hotspur, who managed 5 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Unai Emery will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 4 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Aston Villa recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
Ollie Watkins is the man of the moment at Aston Villa right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-3 win for Liverpool.
Goals should be on the cards for Liverpool in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The Villans in their last 10 meetings together.
Aston Villa will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've faced Liverpool in the league.
Liverpool player Mohamed Salah will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Aston Villa, having scored 5 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Thiago Alcântara (Hip), Stefan Bajčetić (Groin), Roberto Firmino (Muscle), Naby Keïta (Muscle), Calvin Ramsay (Knee) and Rhys Williams (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Kortney Hause (Knee) and Jed Steer (Achilles tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Unai Emery will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
