Hmm, Liverpool are no doubt in a good shape but Aston villa isn't a team you can just easily win and you can ask jorgen klopp he can attestify. Aston villa are like a torn in most of the big team flesh and if you are careful enough they can hit you anytime with a suprise victory and I believe their with Liverpool isn't going to be an easy game like the way you sound to be and moreover their defence like you statement now has a defect courtesy to van dijk absence.
Liverpool is an unbeaten team in their last 5 matches against Aston Villa in the Premier League. Last season Liverpool won the away game 1-3, while they drew 1-1 at Anfield. Aston Villa could be a threat to Liverpool considering the confidence of their players is good following their two successive wins so far. I believe Liverpool are the favorites at home, but it wouldn't be a surprise if their home game ended in a draw like last season against the same team.
