[tgdcta items=”1″ id=”180457″]
Aston Villa has taken a huge step this season towards consolidating themselves at the top of the Premier League, an extremely difficult fight against teams of greater names and wallets. The Villans are just one step away from securing Champions League football for next season, which would be their first participation since 1982/83. They currently have a four-point advantage over Tottenham and with a win Aston Villa would be back on the biggest stage of European football.
The Villans were knocked out of the Europa Conference League by Olympiacos on Thursday. The Greek side dominated the semifinal winning both legs with an aggregate score of 6-2. The last two games in the Premier League were also far from the team we have seen this season, losing 1-0 against Brighton and drawing 2-2 against Chelsea in a game that seemed to finish with a 2-0 lead at halftime. Luckily for them, Tottenham’s horrible run of form means they still have a very healthy lead and only a miracle can see them drop out of the top four.
Liverpool collapsed in the last month, which has cost them the chance to fight for the title until the final day. They are capped to finish the season with 84 points, and, as a result of Manchester City’s win over Fulham, can no longer win the Premier League title.
It has not been the fairytale ending of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool career that all football fans wished for. In a year with no Champions League, just managing to win the EFL Cup and the way of missing out on the FA Cup, Europa League and another Premier League will surely hurt for quite a while. However, this final season does not stain the era of the German manager in Liverpool who transformed the club and finally achieved the first Premier League trophy.

Draw at 4.20
Liverpool has dominated this head-to-head in recent years managing seven consecutive games without defeats, collecting six wins and just one draw. However, chances are Liverpool will start the game looking for a final away win in the Klopp era. Meanwhile, Aston Villa will want to seal Champions League football and celebrate with their home crowd, therefore giving the home side an extra motivation over the Reds.
