Aston Villa will play against Liverpool in FA Cup and we got a Football forecast for the match. The game is on Friday, January 8 from 19:45 UK at Villa Park.
Aston Villa is in 8th place in Premier League with 26 points after 15 games. Without a doubt what is doing Villa so far this season in the league is shocking in a positive way. After they avoid relegation in the last minutes last season, this season the team from Birmingham is among the best teams in the league. The team was in a series of 5 matches in a row without a loss in which they beat Wolverhampton, West Brom, and Crystal Palace.
The team also avoid losing against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge 1:1. However, that series ended in their last clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford 2:1. The winning goal for the Red Devils was scored from a penalty which was light and this shows us that Aston Villa was equal even to Man. United.
Liverpool is in first place in Premier League with 33 points after 17 games. However, Man. United have the same number of points but played only 16 matches. It is shocking but the Reds are without a victory in their last 3 games in Premier League. Everything started with 1:1 at home against West Brom and then they finished 0:0 against Newcastle away from home.
For a second match in a row, the team of Jurgen Klopp failed to score on Monday against Southampton and the Saints won 1:0. If we add that Liverpool already failed to beat also teams like Brighton and Fulham, we can say that it will be a very hard task for the club to defend their title.
We all remember the last time when Aston Villa faced Liverpool and beat them 7:2. This was the worst loss of the Reds in the last 70 years in the league. However, I think that with all the negativity with the team lately the players of Klopp will want to do their best against Aston Villa and I think that we will see a lot of goals. Football forecast: Over 2.5 goals
