There's an argument to be made that this match means more to Aston Villa. Liverpool has already assured itself of qualifying for Champions League play and Aston Villa needs points to do the same. That doesn't mean Liverpool isn't the correct choice though. The Reds have 5 wins and 1 draw in the last 6 head-to-head meetings.

Aston Villa lost its last league match 1-0 to Brighton. That was followed by a 2-0 defeat to Olympiacos in Thursday's Europa Conference League action. Prior to that was a 4-2 setback Olympiacos. That's 0-3 in May and getting outscored 7-2. Those Olympiacos losses were disappointing and exhausting. A banged-up Villa squad will be no match for a powerful Liverpool team coming off a 4-2 win over Tottenham.
