Under-Pressure Liverpool Eager To End Torrid Run Against Upbeat Aston Villa
The Liverpool vs Aston Villa match is going to be an interesting one to watch because of the relatively polarising form of both teams.
Liverpool are now on a five-match losing streak in domestic competitions, which includes four losses in as many Premier League games. Aston Villa, on the other hand, have won their last four Premier League games in style and are coming off the back of a win over Manchester City!
To their credit, Liverpool have a very good record against Aston Villa in recent meetings. They haven’t lost to Aston Villa since the infamous 7-2 drubbing at Villa Park in the 2020/21 Premier League season, and the Reds have won two of their last five meetings against the Villains.
However, they have also played out three draws in that period.
Liverpool have lost their last two matches at Anfield across all competitions, and Aston Villa are on an impressive winning run. Something has got to give as the under-pressure Liverpool look to ease the criticism on Arne Slot with a clinical performance, while Aston Villa look to sneak away with a positive result.
Can Mohamed Salah Regain Top Form To Inspire Liverpool?
Mohamed Salah has had a relatively shaky start to the 2025/26 season with Liverpool. He’s scored three goals in nine Premier League matches, which is a stark contrast from the kind of goals he scored in the league last season. Salah is under pressure to regain that form and be the leader in the Liverpool attack, and he will aim to do so against Aston Villa.
The Egyptian forward did score an impressive goal in the last game against Brentford, a solid right-footed strike.
He has a pretty good record against Aston Villa, having scored eight goals and provided six assists in 12 Premier League games against them.
The 33-year-old will need to be smart with his forward movement and efficient with his finishing to entertain Anfield with an entertaining display and lift the spirits of his side.

Tricky Morgan Rogers Aiming To Add More Misery To Liverpool
Morgan Rogers appears to have improved his form for Aston Villa once again, as he’s had three goal contributions in the last four Premier League games for Aston Villa. The 23-year-old scored a stellar goal in Villa’s recent win over Tottenham Hotspur and was quite menacing in the win over Manchester City as well.
Rogers appears to thrive under the freedom given to him in away matches, as he proved with his heroics against Spurs. However, now is his best time to prove he can be a difference-maker for Aston Villa in tough away games with an inspired display at Anfield.
Rogers has to be smart with his movement, creative with his final third passes and put away whatever comes his way clinically to inspire Aston Villa to a big result.
