Both favorites lost in today's matches. The first match was between Not.Forest and Aston Villa. Aston Villa, who played dominantly from the first minute of the match, could not even find a goal. I find it very interesting that Aston Villa, who have not had any problems in finding goals in all but one of the league matches they have played so far, could not score a goal today.
In the other match Luton Town drew with Liverpool at home. Although Liverpool spent most of the game in Luton Town's half, we saw that they, like Aston Villa, struggled to find goals. With 76% possession and 24 shots, Liverpool managed to get a draw with a last minute goal.

True! I also think that both games were surprises as personally I would have never believe that Luton can snatch 1 point from Liverpool
. On Aston Villa , I had some doubts but Nottingham had some great counter-attacks and they managed to score twice that kinda ended the game for Aston Villa.For Liverpool ...what can I say ? They tend to make games like this once in a while but they had 24 scoring chances and they only had 6 shots on target and only 1 goal so that says a lot about current form of their strikers.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are a team in form of late and have no problem scoring goals. Many gamblers expected Aston Villa to score at least 2 goals in this match but they didn't even score. It should have been obvious from the odds that Aston Villa could lose points in this match. It was not normal to give such high odds when they were doing so well.
