Liverpool have the chance to go ten points clear at the top of the Premier League as they travel to face Aston Villa on Wednesday night. This fixture has been brought forward due to Liverpool’s participation in the Carabao Cup next month and it presents the opportunity for the Reds to pile the pressure on Arsenal. Arne Slot’s side were not entirely convincing in edging past Wolves on Sunday, with that result coming after they were held to a draw by Everton. Dropped points here and there could be questions over whether Liverpool are starting to falter, particularly ahead of a crucial trop to Manchester City this weekend.
Villa were frustrated over the weekend by 10-man Ipswich, as Ollie Watkins equalised but the hosts were then unable to go on and find a winner. Unai Emery’s side have though been largely superb on home soil this season, losing only to Arsenal and Crystal Palace, and they are on a 12-match unbeaten run in all competitions at Villa Park.
