Liverpool will face Aston Villa on the 26th matchday of the Premier League at Villa Park after winning 2-1 in the recent match against the Wolves.
In the last match, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah scored the winner for Liverpool in Molineux stadium, keeping the Reds at the top of the table with 60 points.
After 25 matches in the league, Arne Slot’s boys have won 18 matches, drew 6, and lost only one against Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
Tonight’s match against Aston Villa could be a huge step for Liverpool in the Premier League triumph which could give them a 10-point lead from Mikel Arteta’s side, which sits at the second place with 53 points.
Liverpool will need to be at their best to break down Aston Villa, who have been in strong form at home this season. Unai Emery’s side is pushing for a top-four finish and will look to make a statement against the league leaders.
Liverpool fans have received some bad news before the trip to Birmingham. Liverpool’s forward, Cody Gakpo who is having an amazing season under the Dutch manager will not be available for the team due to a knock sustained in the 2-2 draw against Everton.
Another player who will be on the sidelines is Joe Gomez who is reported to be missing the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury which he picked in the 1-0 defeat against Plymouth in the FA Cup.
Tonight’s replacement for Cody Gakpo could be either Darwin Nunez who is yet to find his best form this season or Diogo Jota who recently came back from an injury.
With just a few months left in the season, every match is crucial, and a victory tonight would give Liverpool a massive advantage in the title race.
