Barclays Premier League comes back after the stop for the International matches with a great game next Saturday 13th as Liverpool will receive the third place of the league, Aston Villa at 12:30 ET, in Anfield.
For this game the Reds are the favorites for the victory listed -400 in the EPL odds, +500 in case of a draw and +1000 for a Villans winning.
Despite the Odds, Aston Villa has done an impressive campaign and is still unbeaten this season. Located on the third place of the table with 7 points as a result of two winnings (Stoke and Hall) and one draw (Newcastle), they want to continue with their good streak in the Anfield.
The main sin of the Villa is their offense; they have only scored three goals in the last three matches. However, they have a solid defense to counteract their bad striker’s performances and has received only one goal this season against the Hull.
Besides, the Villans are unbeaten in their three Premier League trips to Anfield, winning once and drawing twice. Indeed, Paul Lambert, as a manager has never tasted defeat over there, drawing twice (one with Norwich and the other with Aston Villa) and a drawing with the Villa. In short, they will be a very difficult adversary for Liverpool.
On the other side, the Reds arrives located on the fifth place of the Barclays Premier League after two winnings (Southampton and Spurs), and one lose (Manchester City). Also, they have +2 on the goal difference after scoring six goals and receiving 4.
