ANOTHER weekend, another bumper set of Premier League fixtures to enjoy.
Following a profitable midweek, we’re heading to Merseyside for our last feature game where Liverpool face relegation-threatened Aston Villa.
Liverpool vs Aston Villa – Sunday, 4.30pm
Time to see if the Reds still have a title hangover.
It was a messy evening at the Etihad as Pep Guardiola‘s pumped up City took out their frustrations on a Liverpool side well short of their usual standard.
The result was a 4-0 win for the ex-champions, leaving Klopp’s side with the small matter of a twenty point gap at the top.
Nobody can argue Liverpool don’t deserve their title and that they didn’t deserve to celebrate – but we expect them to react to what in any case was a heavy and unexpected defeat.
Dean Smith and Aston Villa were already dreading this game from their perilous position in the relegation zone.
Villa’s first season back in the Premier League has been a chastening one and Anfield is the last place they will want to go when in such desperate need of points.
Liverpool are unbeaten here this season in the league, winning all 16 of their home matches.
And after the defeat against City, the bookies are wondering if they will go easy on Villa in this one.
Not a chance – didn’t you see that Klopp interview?!
The Reds to make it 17 from 17 has drifted to 4/11 – you back this Liverpool team at that price, at home, every time.
Villa might be fighting for their Premier League lives but they’ve failed so far to really fire when it matters.
Since the league returned they’ve picked up just one point and are without a victory on the road since New Year’s Day at Burnley.
We reckon Klopp will have his men right up for this after the one-sided scoreline at City, even if the title is won.
