Aston Villa vs Liverpool Preview
Liverpool (8-1-1) sits on top of the English Premier League table with 33 points, and on Saturday the Reds welcome Aston Villa (5-3-2, 18 points) to Anfield for a match that could end up being a challenge for the visitors. After losing 4-1 at Tottenham in Matchweek 10, the Lions lost a tough one on a handball in UEFA Champions League play on Tuesday, 1-0 to Club Brugge. Liverpool rallied to top Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend at Home, 2-1, and then shut out defending German Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen 04 in UEFA Champions League play on Tuesday, 4-0, also at Anfield.
Aston Villa FC
Aston Villa is winless in its last four matches overall (0-1-3), losing those aforementioned games to Club Brugge and Spurs, and also getting beat by Crystal Palace at Home (2-1) and drawing with AFC Bournemouth (1-1), both in EPL play. So that’s just 3 goals in 4 games while allowing 8, so maybe the travel and stress of playing in the EPL, UEFA CL, and Carabao Cup all at the same time is weighing on the Lions. Ollie Watkins (5 goals), Jhon Durán (4 goals) and Morgan Rogers (3 goals) are the leading goal scorers for Aston Villa who have a tough November ahead with this game at Liverpool, a Home fixture and rematch with Crystal Palace, and then Italian Serie A side Juventus at Home in UEFA CL play on Wednesday, November 27.

Reds Look For Third Straight Unbeaten Month
The free Soccer pick and Aston Villa vs Liverpool prediction is to take the team on the winning streak at Home who has the historical advantage in the series against the side winless in its last four outings. Liverpool’s last loss came all the way back on September 14 at Home to Nottingham Forest in EPL play (1-0), and the Reds have won 14 of 16 matches under new head Coach Arne Slot who took over for club legend Jürgen Klopp. With Allison out, Caoimhin Kelleher has done a nice job in goal and this team is playing great in all competitions and are oddsmakers second favorites to win the Premier League (+180 DraftKings; Manchester City +150) and the third favorites to win the UEFA Champions League (+600; DraftKings; Manchester City +370, Real Madrid +500). With Salah, Díaz and Cody Gakpo on the attack and Virgil van Dijk holding down the defense, the Reds are on a roll but will have to face Real Madrid later this month in UEFA CL play and have a mind-boggling 9 fixtures in December. This seems like a 2-1 win for LFC.
