Liverpool are the favorites to win that match, but of course the Reds shouldn't underestimate their opponent Aston Villa. The Unai Emery factor could make it difficult for Liverpool, the proof is that since taking over the coaching baton from Steven Gerrard, Emery has proven his ability to beat Manchester United.
But apart from that, Liverpool must win the full points. Because if you lose again, Liverpool's chances of advancing to the top flight will be tightly closed.
Liverpool wouldn't underestimate Aston Villa even more likely they will be careful to this team because apparently Unay Emery has provide significant progress for Aston Villa that since he arrived on November Aston Villa can gets 2 consecutive wins in premier league and one of it when they can able to beat Manchester United with score 3-1 but for this match apparently Aston Villa still cannot played Emiliano Martinez
However Liverpool should be forget their losses from Manchester City on Carabao Cup because the match against Aston Villa will be more important and regarding head to head statistics actually Liverpool had good records from Aston Villa that they can gets 4 winning streak from 5 latest meetings so i wish Liverpool can continue their records although Liverpool is not in the good shape
