The runner-up of Europe and England, Liverpool, returns to the English league from the World Cup delay straight to an important game when it is hosted by Aston Villa at this time as part of the 17th round of the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp’s players experienced a very disappointing season until the break when they left in sixth place and 15 points away from Arsenal at the top. Now, they want to start a new way with the return of the league.
On the other hand, Aston Villa and manager Unai Emery have looked better since Steven Gerrard left and have won three of their four league games since the break-up. Despite everything, the distance from the red line on the eve of the cycle is only five points and they know that every point tonight is important.
The past meetings in the recent period bring hope to Liverpool who won the last three games between the teams in the league, with the game before that being the same unforgettable 2:7 in 2020.
