Have Liverpool Already Sealed the Premier League?

4y ago

Fresh from the Championship, new league boys Aston Villa are not finding it easy so far in the season. Despite pipping Wolves to the cup quarter-finals, Villa are a worried lot heading into this clash and rightly so.

Dean Smith’s side are languishing on 13^th and are only 3 points above safety. While the coach can fetch heroics from their mid-week win over Wolves, a match where senior players were rested for this clash, it will be an uphill task for the side against an in form opponent.

Notwithstanding, Villa are decent at home and have only lost once this season, 2W 2D 1L with convincing performances against Everton and Brighton. That being said, the home side have to be at their optimum to get anything from this fixture.

The Reds walk into this fixture fresh from a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Arsenal in the League Cup. Their hard-fought victory underlines Liverpool’s stellar season full of resilience and belief, having had to fight and comeback in that encounter. Liverpool fielded some of their fringe players and they did not disappoint.

Now, the senior players will take over on the big stage including mercurial forward Mo Salah and defensive powerhouse Virgil Van Dijk who are both fit after picking up minor injuries last weekend. Jurgen Klopp’s ingenuity will come into play and the tactician will have to sharpen his boys mentally and tactically well wary of last season’s blunder which saw them blow a 7 point lead on top of the table.

This is a must-win encounter for this side given that they face defending champions Manchester City in their next league fixture and dropping points here could compromise their Premier League title ambitions.
