I don't know why but there is an Aston Villa - Liverpool game which was normally going to be played on the 29th week of the season. It isn't an absent game for any side either but anyway... Only 4 days after this game, Liverpool are playing away vs Manchester City in the PL. This makes me think if there would be any rotation but I guess there wouldn't be. Even though they are 7 points ahead of Arsenal there is no need to take such risks.

Aston Villa aren't in form lately. They have lost so many points. This is why I believe Liverpool won't have big difficulties. Salah is destroying everyone on his way. Aston Villa is a candidate to be the next one.

Liverpool have been very impressive this season leading the league table by a good gap from second place Arsenal but their last two matches did not entail a very satisfying performance, they drew against Everton and managed a win against Wolves which send a message to opponents that they are a bit weak at the moment and against Aston Villa it will be a tougher game which they will need to be at their best to win. I can’t wait to see how well they will fare in mid week.

Liverpool is getting impressive because of their good performance because they play well and win matches which makes them improve their record and because of that they will become strong and people like them. Arsenal are also well established but there is a few points gap between them which would put either of them further back.If Arsenal lose the match, it will greatly benefit Liverpool and if Liverpool wins the match, they can even go to number one.In these matches they were under pressure and did not play well, due to which they did not win the match and played poorly. If Arsenal still don't do well in these matches, it will weaken their performance and also their record. This is what everyone wants to see because they are still performing well and are strong.

The result achieved by Manchester United against Tottenham already emphasized if they're finished. I don't see the willingness owned by the club to go up. They wasted many opportunities and doing so many blunders.

Their biggest blunder was not selling Garnacho. His performance has been drastically dropped. He becomes a player with the lowest conversion ratio in premier league.

I have been talking about MU to sell him in the past, but things worsen when they decide to keep stubbornness in keeping him.

No disrespect but after such an awful performance against Tottenham, Manchester United fans are looking for someone to blame. Alejandro Garnacho seems to be the scapegoat even though he has been one of the bright spots in the squad. Manchester United are in a real mess and if they don't address these problems soon, they risk falling further behind their rivals.

Due to recent performance of Manchester United they are miserable club because they fail to have improvement and things are surely going badly down which are surely scaring for their fans those are feeling not good in this season even Amorim fail to bring any improvement is more problematic for them.

They have already done few changes and more are under pipeline which will surely give them some relief but if their results no change this could be surely shameful with living in danger zone is also not affordable for club like Manchester United too much talk about scapegoat but no one is going to be blamed because these are completely nonsense.

Quality coach and players, but performance is not consistent and their depth is also not good which is big problems now how to fix this It's surely not easy but as Amorim is doing few chances he will be able to bring changes in the future.

I blame the Glaziers for Manchester United misfortune, if they've sold this clubs to the Arabs the clubs would've been free from debt and not affect by the PSR rule, formerly know as financial fair play rule, that stopping them from recruiting players with offloading some of their current players, it's really affecting them so bad cause most of the so called professional footballers in the club are finding it hard to adapt into the new managers system of play.

 I watch Manchester United's football often with my siblings who are Manchester United fans and I feel their anger and pain cause their club is so boring to watch and the players keep missing good chances, it's never Amorim's fault but the overhyped players in their squad especially their both attackers, those two would never fit in Ferguson's squad, they're lucky to be playing for Manchester United yet they ain't giving their best, it's shameful.

It feels a bit strange indeed, or maybe there is something later, until makes the match for round 29 between Aston Villa vs Liverpool be brought forward or accelerated. Meanwhile, for the next normal round is round 26, therefore four days later Liverpool and Aston Villa will also play, Liverpool will play against Manchester City and Aston Villa will play against Chelsea. But yes, regardless of that schedule, I also agree that Liverpool will still have a very good chance of beating Aston Villa who are in a bad trend lately.

Who's stopping Liverpool from lifting the English Premier League cup? Arsenal, Manchester City? They don't possess the odds of reaching the elevated level of the Reds. Liverpool will handle their oppositions this season, they're competent to maintain streak winnings in EPL games. Arne Slot have slash his concentration on different sectors this season, it's only a matter of time before we see the golden eye at Anfield. The vast number of supporters doesn't believe Arne Slot would take the club to this length, most of them shed tears when Jurgen Klopp part ways with Liverpool but today, they're wearing on smiling faces and chanting songs of victory and popular anthem of the team, "We'll Never Walk Alone". This is basically impotent for the team to keep their head up and continue recording streak winnings.

I don't even think that the players and the coaches are to blame for the plight of Manchester united, looking back at all the coaches that has managed Manchester united you will understand that the major reason why Manchester united has been struggling since sir Alex Ferguson left the club is how bad the club is structured, Luis van gaal even said it that Manchester united is a commercial club, and in the transfer market, they don't actually sign players that would fit into the identity of the club, after everything, the blame will be on the coach Because he is the face of the club, till the structure of the club is rearranged, this is how they will keep on struggling year in year out.

[Stable090]

I don't think so.  I expect Aston Villa to lose in the next match. This team has not won any  of their last four matches. They have drawn three matches and lost one . Even though their opponents were not that strong, Aston Villa failed to win.

Aston villa is not a team which you should underestimate, I know their performance has not been so good this season, but when strong teams are playing against weaker teams, it’s not always easy for the strong teams, so I expect Aston villa to give Liverpool a difficult moment in the match, even if Liverpool will be getting a win, then it’s not really going going to be as easy one for Liverpool.

If you check Liverpool match against Everton, everyone expected a win by Liverpool in the match, no one even expected the match to be a difficult one for Liverpool, but Liverpool couldn’t get a win in the match, it ended as draw, so Aston villa shouldn’t be underestimated also.

I can’t wait to see how well they will fare in mid week.

In last few years, Liverpool was always at the top but sadly due to bad luck of Jürgen Klopp they faced problems and always fall behind here I will blame just Jürgen Klopp luck not him because he is one of the visionary coaches in soccer who can change the tables by his work and quality Arne Slop is the luckiest person who is taking good advantage of former coach.

In this season, things are all set for another triumph of Manchester City but injuries and out of form players hurt them badly which directly favorable for the Liverpool, and they are enjoying good success in Premier League and Champions League as well. Now Liverpool is having healthy lead at the top only Arsenal is near them with seven points difference things are clearly indicating they could be wrap up this easily without any problem with fight for remaining spots are going to be interesting.

[Pokapoka124]

The formula for Manchester United to recover is simple:

• Bring new players to consolidate the squad and make sure every position is strong enough
• Then use the right strategies with those players to achieve the targets

I believe Amorim isn't a bad manager. Yeah, Erik ten Hag wasn't also when he was at Ajax. But we found out he wasn't a good candidate for a top club.

However I think Amorim won't be the same - hopefully.    Imagine him bringing Gyökeres... They are already in need of a credible centre-forward.

Manchester United's poor performance is largely the responsibility of the players. Amorim is a talented coach as we saw his success at Sporting. With Amorim at the helm of affairs at Manchester United, he can able to bring about a positive change in the club and that is only if he gets the full backing of the club owners.

Anyways, Manchester United have the craziest fans anyways they dis same thing when Ferguson earlier came to Manchester United, he was rebuilding and finished in 11th position twice and fans held protests calling for his sack but today same fans are hoping for Ferguson's legacy to be  achieved again, they should understand that a rebuilding phase is not always easy and would require patience, instead of acting according to their emotions.

 Amorim is a good coach bit the players he has are nor suited for his gameplay if the fans are to hold any protest it should be against the Glaziers they're the ones ruining the club's legacy they keep taking from the club without investing and INEOS that has about 27% shares or more in the club is not even ready to help build the club they need to fully back him with the right players during the summer.

However, the previous time Aston Villa hosted Liverpool in the Premier League, the match finished in a 3-3 draw. That was a huge goal scored in a single match; can we expect the same number of goals in tomorrow's game? I believe so because Aston Villa also has a great attacking player, and I am confident they can score a lot of goals.

I don't think so.  I expect Aston Villa to lose in the next match. This team has not won any  of their last four matches. They have drawn three matches and lost one . Even though their opponents were not that strong, Aston Villa failed to win. It is impossible to resist a strong team like Liverpool with such a poor performance. I expect liverpool to win in this match. And my guess is that Liverpool will beat Aston Villa by at least 2 goals. I am going to bet on liverpool to win this match.

Statistically, Liverpool is supposed to win Aston Villa without stress but due to the current decline of Liverpool still makes it hard to predict them to win directly because with how they performed in their last away game against Everton, it may be difficult for them to win Aston Villa from away and moreover, in their last four games from away in all competitions they were only able to win just one match, lost two and draw one which is to say that their form from away is not good enough hence same thing can happen against Aston Villa today. Aston Villa's form currently is not that bad, and since it is the only match in the premier league today i am expecting similar result as it was when Liverpool met Everton last Wednesday and it was also the only premier league match that day.

[Velvet78]

Who's stopping Liverpool from lifting the English Premier League cup? Arsenal, Manchester City?

Nobody is stopping Liverpool clearly. Even with the Arsenal the point gap has reached 7 now. Manchester City are even 16 points behind.    There is literally nobody to stop them unless Liverpool start messing things up by themselves. But it doesn't also seem very likely recently. We have all seen how good their system has worked so far. Arne Slot has turned out to be a great manager for Liverpool. That Premier League title is absolutely going to them this year...

If we go back to tonight's game, I'm confident about Liverpool. 1.87 is attracting odds to bet on their win.    I would probably combine it with the Champions League games tonight.

[bitgolden]

While it is understandable for people to expect an upset by Villa, it is also something we need to put in our back pocket as an alternative to reality. Liverpool is far better team, and while of course every team could lose to any team, we can't point out the last game and think that the same will happen. Liverpool has gotten more consistent with their results and their play style and I am expecting them to get a win here.

This is why I am pretty sure that we are going to end up with a much better result without a doubt, wouldn't that make more sense? Liverpool is the better team, and they should be able to get a good result without a doubt, they are going to end up with a much better side for the time being.

Aston Villa in the last few matches they have always been unpredictable in terms of performance even in the last 5 matches we can see that Emery's upbringing is still unable to perform consistently so against Liverpool it is clear that if the probability comparison is then they will still lose.

But even so we must realize that in the end things like this may not be a reference especially those who are sometimes difficult to guess so even though their probability is low for now but their chance to get at least 1 point in this match is still quite there for me.

Liverpool is one of the most feared clubs for now but Aston Villa especially Emery who is quite able to understand when they face stronger opponents then I think they will try to take 1 point in this match so they don't get unexpected results especially this is the only way for them to be able to make the EPL a little stuck with Liverpool who are not running alone in the trophy hunt.

Judging from the position and the difference in points, Liverpool can be said to be lifting the Premier League trophy this season. Although this sentence sounds arrogant, it is true.
But one thing to note is that the Premier League still has about 14 matches left and anything can still happen.
If they lose when they face Aston Villa, then the gap with Arsenal is no longer far.

The Premier League is always full of surprises. Arsenal could thwart Liverpool at the end of the season. The point is, it is still possible that there is a team that can stop Liverpool.

[mamesso]

Due to recent performance of Manchester United they are miserable club because they fail to have improvement and things are surely going badly down which are surely scaring for their fans those are feeling not good in this season even Amorim fail to bring any improvement is more problematic for them.

The board of directors had high hopes for Amorim when they appointed him as head manager, but the results have been far from what they had hoped for, with United struggling to improve their position in the league table and they are in danger of not playing in European competition next season.
It is very sad to see Man United still struggling to improve their performance despite changing coaches many times, if the situation continues like this, Amorim's fate will not be much different from Ten Hag.

Erik Ten Hag did better than Ruben Amorim? We should not be in a hurry to judge because Ruben Amorim is yet to stay in Manchester United for year, he's been here for few months, seen the monthly game outcome, there's room for improvement. I will politely request for more time for Ruben Amorim, same longterm was offered to Erik Ten Hag, he did accomplish alot during his extensive existence as manager.

What's Manchester United supporters fate towards their accomplishing desires for the team? Are they happy with the current status of the team? Manchester United managing board and supporters will be positive because the current circumstances they're experiencing is simply a phase and it will passed. Appointing Ruben Amorim as headcoach, it was a smart choice or not? The current manager is incompetent with handling his managerial role effectively, there's evident weaknesses in the team and this is affecting them tremendously.

For those who say that Manchester United are performing worse under Amorim than ten Hag, I would say how long Ten Haack has been in charge of Manchester United and how long has Amorim been in charge of Manchester United?   
Amorim took over at Manchester United at a time when he had no chance to buy the players he wanted. Managers don't usually want to take on the responsibility of a team built by others, yet this manager has, and with a team in disarray, the manager should be pleased with what he has done for Manchester United so far. 

Manchester United forgot to win during Ten Hag but since the current manager took over Manchester United but Manchester United started winning again. Manchester United is not in a good position in the Premier League because in the beginning they have lost most of the matches and lost the points as a result of which now they are not able to recover those points even if they want but in another competition they are still in a good position. So I would say that this team should be supported without criticizing and as a result of supporting this team should be praised as much as it performs well.

[Roseline492]

There is no guarantee that Liverpool can be consistent until the end of the season, especially since the remaining matches this season are still very long, so I think anything is still possible and the team that is most likely to put fierce pressure and also has the potential to catch up with Liverpool is Arsenal because they are only 7 points apart at the moment and these two teams will also meet again in week 36 later.

Tonight Liverpool will visit Aston Villa's headquarters, this is not an easy match because Aston Villa is quite strong when playing at home and I think it is not worth it to bet on Liverpool's victory with odds @1.87 because that would be quite risky, it is better to bet on over goals or BTTS.

I would say Liverpool consistency is guaranteed because the remaining days of the premier League is lesser than the long journey they have come and 70 percent has been achieved and till now their consistency has not dried, inconsistency is a work of injury but they don't have much that will make them less performing. About Everton they have a long list of people who are too dip on the injury they are having, is up to six players, so if they are unable to beat Liverpool with completeness I no they can't do it incomplete, so actually because of the absent players I'm okay to go with any odd of Liverpool because they have set the rope for Aston Villa, just the matter of little strength.
