Aston Villa vs Liverpool Predictions and Betting Tips

Former Liverpool player and current Villa boss Steven Gerard would be looking to inevitably crush Liverpool's quadruple dream as the Lions and the Reds clash at Villa Park this Tuesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Villa's 7-2 victory against Liverpool last season would surely live long in the memory of their fans but they've since lost the following three games against the team from Merseyside, including a 1-0 loss at Anfield last December.

Liverpool looking to bounce back

Aston Villa haven't exactly made giant leaps under the tutelage of Seven Gerard but what's certain is that there have been some improvements in the squad. The Easter period was a tough one for Gerard and his troops as we saw them lose four matches on the spin, however, we've seen them rack up seven points from their last three league games. Burnley was the latest team to go down by their sword as the Lions charged on to a 3-1 victory at the Turf Moor- Ings, Buendia and Watkins on the scoresheet. Aston Villa heads into this game in 11th position on the league standings and could move into the top 10 if they can manage a draw against Jurgen Klopp's Reds but keep in mind that Aston Villa has a tendency to cave against the league's top sides.

Although the quadruple dream is still very much on, it did take a major hit last weekend as Liverpool dropped two precious points at home to Spurs. Son, with his 20th league goal of the season, tapped in the opener for Antonio Conte's side but the hosts replied through a deflected effort from red-hot Luis Diaz- 1-1 being the final score. The point earned sent them to the top but defending champions Manchester City quickly took the opportunity to go three points clear by beating Newcastle on Sunday. Liverpool's six-game unbeaten run in all competitions came to an end last weekend but they're still unbeaten in the league since losing to Leicester City back in December. The FA Cup final is Liverpool's next game following this Tuesday's encounter and as such, the Reds would be keen on getting back to winning ways with another opportunity for silverware insight.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool Prediction: 1-2

Steven Gerrard has overseen an upturn of form for his side in recent games but their opponents in said matches are of inferior quality compared to the quadruple-chasing Liverpool. That being said, we're still expecting the hosts to push their opponents to the limit but Liverpool should still come away with all three points.
