Liverpool is once again in the action of the mid -week Premier League as they travel to Aston Villa on Wednesday night.
The Reds left last week’s Derby draw at Goodison Park emotionally drained and suffered from the wolves as a result. After taking a 2-0 lead on the break, Liverpool failed to record a single shot in the second half on Anfield with the strike of Matheus Cunha creating a nervous finale.
However, Arne Slot’s side clinging, however, and will move ten points to the top of the table with a long victory under the lights in Villa Park.
The villa was up and down in the domestic term, but they have not tried the defeat on the ground since August. Ipswich held them in a tie on the weekend, with the UNAI Emery side being the ninth on the championship table.
The Villans have a job to do if they are going to climb the European venues and reproduce last season’s success.

Villa has shared another injury injury in front of Wednesday’s game, with Boubacar Kamara losing in the next two weeks due to complaining of muscles that fell early against Ipswich.
Kamara had completed the heart of Villa’s defense, with Unai Emery without Pau Torres and possibly Ezri Konsa for Liverpool’s visit. Matty Cash and Leon Bailey are doubts, while Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana have already been ruled out.
However, Tyrone Mings is suitable and available for the hosts and will hit the backline alongside the new Axel Axel disaster. Marcus Rashford could also make his first start for the club.
Aston Villa predicted the series against Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Garcia, disassi, mings, worthy; Tilemans, McGinn. Rogers, Rogers, Rashford. Watkins.
The reception confirmed that Cody Gakpo will lose again For visitors after a derby hit. The Dutchman is a big gap given the form that has shown this term in front of this target.
Joe Gomez is also ready for another spell on the sidelines, while Tyler Morton is involved in shoulder injury.
Curtis Jones is eligible to return from his brief suspension and could be found in the original composition if the manager chooses to rotate in front of Sunday’s game at Etihad.
Liverpool predicted the composition against Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas. Gravenberch, Mac Allister. Salah, Jones, Diaz. Nunez.
Liverpool has an impressive recent record against Villans and although they do not have a second top scorer Gakpo on Wednesday night, guests should have enough joy against a weakened villa defense.
Kamara is a large gap in the middle of the park, with the Frenchman playing an important role for Emery before being forced to Villa’s backline. Reds should be able to enjoy sessions in a harsh environment, enhancing the chances of a great victory.
After going through Sunday’s game against wolves after the derby, wait for visitors to produce a much more serene performance away from home. We have already seen them grind in Brdford and Bournemouth in the new year.
