Liverpool are contenders for the League title this season. The Reds are putting in a magnificent performance this season; expect to see additional positive statistics from Liverpool. I'm not going to gamble this weekend because we have a lot of challenging EPL games. Liverpool is placed fourth in the league, while Aston Villa is ranked seventh. These middling clubs should provide solid competition this season. Unai Emery will face Jurgen Klopp in an intriguing match. Liverpool will play Aston Villa this weekend, and the Reds are expected to win.
Liverpool's last game against Newcastle where they played with ten men and were still able to win the game in a few minutes will serve as a big mental boost for them that they can win any game even if they are behind. Liverpool will do very well this season as they have already started and when they play the title defenders and other big teams in the league, they will surely make the game very difficult and can even win. Against Aston Villa, I believe Liverpool will still be able to win the game and get all the points. They do not need to relax though because in the premier league, any team can surprise you.
As for me, Liverpool is out of the woods, only that people have not noticed yet. This is why they are one of my top 3 for this season even before the season starts. It will be an easy win when they meet Aston Villa as I don't see the two having so much to contend if Liverpool could be so serious and do not underestimate them. I hope they can have a very good replacement for Van Dijk to avoid the issue in the defence as he is the best in his angle. I blame him for the later reaction after the red card too, this could escalate the issue more than before on the verdict. Nonetheless, if Klopp did his work well, I see Aston Villa vacating the 2nd place on the table soon.
