Preview: Liverpool currently in 7 place in the Premier League with 26 points face Aston Villa who are 10th with 19 points. The match will be played at Aston Villa’s stadium Villa Park and on a star studded Sunday is not exactly one of the top matches. Liverpool haven’t really looked like a top four contender so far this season. Though showing lots of heart against the big clubs against lesser clubs their performance has been very disappointing this season. Still the squad is much improved compared to last season under Kenny Dalglish. Liverpool have the best defensive record this season in the Barclays Premier League having conceded just 13 goals. But while defense has been good on the offensive front they have failed to impress scoring only 18 times so far this season. Continued absence of Steven Gerard and the failure of Andy Carroll since his big money move to Liverpool are the reasons that Liverpool continue to struggle in scoring more goals and it has come to haunt them many times this season.
Aston Villa are the kind of side that can cause them problems again though they will be missing their influential goalkeeper Shay Given. We predict a close fought 1-0 win for Liverpool with Suarez scoring.
