Liverpool vs Aston Villa Prediction, Line-ups, Injuries, How to Watch and Team News | Premier League

Defending Premier League champions Liverpool will welcome Aston Villa to their home ground, Anfield, for their tenth Premier League fixture of the 2025-26 season. The Reds find themselves in a crisis, having lost all of their last four games in the English top flight. They were off to a perfect start before something hit them, and they have not been able to recover from it. Arne Slot's injury-ridden side have fallen to seventh on the points table with 15 points from nine games and are desperate to bounce back. Liverpool FC managed to win just one of their six games in October and will be hopeful that November brings back their luck.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, have become one of the sides to beat in the Premier League. After a slow and unusual start, the Lions came back stronger and have won four games on the trot. They are level on points with Liverpool and are placed eighth in the Premier League standings. They have won six of their seven games across all competitions and have taken down the likes of Fulham, Burnley, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City. The West Midlands team will look to challenge the odds and bring an end to their winless run at the iconic Anfield.
