Liverpool Aims for 10-Point Lead in Rearranged Premier League Clash Against Aston Villa
Liverpool have an opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 10 points on Wednesday night as they face Aston Villa in a rescheduled fixture.
Originally set for March 15, the match was postponed due to Liverpool’s participation in the Carabao Cup final. Aston Villa had pushed for another delay, citing a packed schedule for both teams, but the Premier League denied the request.
As the two sides prepare to meet at Villa Park, here’s a breakdown of their recent form, injury updates, and key details. Betting odds are available on the Jojobet official site.
Recent Form (Last Six Premier League Matches)
Aston Villa: W2, D3, L1 | Goals Scored: 7 | Goals Conceded: 7 | Points: 9
Villa have struggled to secure wins recently, with their last victory coming in mid-January. Home draws against West Ham and Ipswich have stalled their progress, but they remain in contention for a European spot, trailing fourth-placed Manchester City by six points.
Liverpool: W4, D2, L0 | Goals Scored: 13 | Goals Conceded: 5 | Points: 14
Despite suffering three defeats in all competitions since January, Liverpool remain unbeaten in the Premier League since mid-September.
However, they have dropped points in 2024 through draws against Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, and Everton.
Their attacking form remains strong, having scored at least twice in every league game (except one) since October.

Team News
Aston Villa:
Villa will be without six key players: Boubacar Kamara, Amadou Onana, Ezri Konsa, Matty Cash, Pau Torres, and Ross Barkley. Leon Bailey remains a doubt and faces a late fitness test.
Liverpool:
The Reds will miss Joe Gomez, Tyler Morton, and Cody Gakpo due to injuries. However, Curtis Jones returns after serving a suspension in their 2-0 win over Wolves.
Match Prediction
Liverpool will need to improve on recent performances against Midlands teams. Their win over Wolves helped ease pressure after setbacks against Plymouth Argyle and Everton.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa have been formidable at home, remaining unbeaten at Villa Park since October.
However, Liverpool’s attacking firepower—led by Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, and Luis Díaz—could give them the edge. Expecting a close contest, a 2-1 away victory for Liverpool seems likely.
