Aston Villa stumbled over the weekend against the 10-man Ipswich and only managed a 1-1 draw at home. However, they remain a strong home team and only Arsenal has left here with a victory so far, back in August. Now they host the leader and main favorite for the title, and another loss would not be surprising. Both teams have scored in Villa's last eight home matches in all competitions, and keeping a clean sheet against Liverpool will definitely be a tough task for Emery and company.
Liverpool has not shown their best in their last three matches. They surprisingly exited the FA Cup, then made a dramatic 2-2 draw away to Everton. They didn't shine in the 2-1 home win against Wolverhampton on Sunday, but at least they won and continue to lead with a seven-point advantage. They continue to score an average of 2.4 goals per match, which often compensates for the goals conceded.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreAston Villa looks capable of scoring at Liverpool's home, but the guests are unlikely to miss the chance to score at least once again.
