Liverpool will be looking to maintain some pressure in the title race and restore their goal diffierence advantage over Manchester City when they face Aston Villa.
The Reds are the favourites at 4/9 with Betfred while Villa are 6/1 longshots and a draw is 18/5. Last season, Villa shocked the league with a 7-2 home win against the then-champions of England but have not won consecutive home league games since February 1998.
Jurgen Klopp would have been left frustrated after dropping two crucial points at home to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend as their 1-1 draw meant City go top of the league with a three-point gap with just three games to go. With Wolves, West Ham and Villa the remaining fixtures for the league leaders, it is going to be tricky to assume Pep Guardiola’s side will drop three points and allow the Reds to overtake them.

For Villa, they have nothing to play for now. Steven Gerrard’s side currently sit 11th in the Premier League table after two back-to-back wins against Norwich City and Burnley but with next-to-zero chance of getting European football, there is nothing to play for the Villains.
