Aston Villa vs Liverpool Tips
Tip 1
Mohamed Salah netted his 28th goal of the season from the penalty spot against Wolves on Sunday, continuing his streak as the world’s most in-form player.
That strike means the Egyptian has scored in each of his last four PL starts and has eight goals in this calendar year already.
It also bodes well that the Liverpool forward has a good record against this opponent, netting eight goals across 12 appearances vs Villa, including being on the scoresheet in three of their last five meetings.
Tip 2
Morgan Rogers might not be a name that springs to mind when looking for a player to be carded in the top flight, however, his tally of nine – with one coming in the Champions League – this season has flown under the radar.
Rogers’ 38 total fouls is only surpassed by Alexis Mac Allister (46) between these two clubs, which is astonishing when you think about how much further forward the former tends to operate.
He has committed at least two fouls in six of his last seven PL games, receiving a card in three of his most recent four league outings.
January’s PL Player of the Month also gave away two fouls and was the recipient of a yellow card in the reverse fixture at Anfield last November.
Aston Villa Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Unai Emery was left frustrated from Saturday’s stalemate with Ipswich, with his AVFC side unable to sweep aside a 10-man Ipswich Town team.
Villa had a fresh injury problem inflicted on them from the weekend’s draw, as Boubacar Kamara came off after only 16 minutes. He joins Pau Torres, Ezri Konsa, Matty Cash, Amadou Onana, Ross Barkley and Leon Bailey on the sidelines.
Aston Villa Predicted XI: Martinez; Garcia, Disasi, Mings, Digne; Tielemans, McGinn; Asensio, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins.

The Reds had a nervy conclusion to their win over Wolves, after Matheus Cunha’s goal made the final 25 minutes interesting at Anfield.

Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Diaz; Nunez.
