Aston Villa are one of the most in-form teams in the Premier League at the moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Having won their last four matches, Villa\u2019s determined 1-0 win over Man City<\/a> lifted them into eighth place in the table.<\/p>\n Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara have been excellent<\/a> in midfield, whilst Pau Torres and Ezri Konsa defended superbly against Erling Haaland on Sunday.<\/p>\n Unai Emery<\/a> is once again showcasing why he is one of the best managers in world football, and Villa fans are optimistic that their side can be competing for Champions League football once more.<\/p>\n Aston Villa<\/a> will now look to pile more misery on Liverpool as they travel to Anfield on Saturday.<\/p>\n Whilst Aston Villa have won their last four league matches, Liverpool have lost theirs, and a crisis is unfolding around Arne Slot.<\/p>\n However, Anfield will play a huge factor in the match, with the atmosphere expected to be ferocious as fans will be spurring their side on to secure a long-awaited three points.<\/p>\n According to Opta\u2019s<\/a> supercomputer, the Reds are expected to get back to winning ways on Saturday.<\/p>\n Whilst this is clearly debatable given current form, Liverpool shouldn\u2019t be underestimated as they still possess several world-class players.<\/p>\n There are still question marks over the form of some of Villa\u2019s attackers, not least to mention Harvey Elliott\u2019s exclusion from the squad against Man City<\/a>.<\/p>\n As he prepares for the match against his former side, Elliott must train well and get himself back in Emery\u2019s good books if he wants to make a statement against the club that let him go. <\/p>\n Based on recent evidence, it\u2019s clear to see that Villa will have some joy against a side that looks completely devoid of confidence.<\/p>\n Aston Villa won\u2019t face issues creating chances against Liverpool<\/p>\n Liverpool just suffered a 3-2 loss to Brentford, and Villa are more than capable of exposing their weaknesses from set pieces.<\/p>\n Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate have looked like a shell of their former selves, and it could provide the perfect opportunity for Ollie Watkins to rediscover his scoring form.<\/p>\n Watkins has disappointed for large parts of this season<\/a> and if he can step up his level, then Villa will be a lot more threatening against Liverpool\u2019s struggling defence.<\/p>\n Whilst Anfield is a tough place to go to under any circumstances, Emery\u2019s side may have the best chance of securing a first away win against Liverpool since 2014.<\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?<\/strong>\u00a0Stay connected with all the latest Aston Villa news, updates, and behind-the-scenes content by following us on our new Instagram account \u2013\u00a0@villanews247<\/a><\/p>\n ![\"Aston](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Unai-Emery-1024x575.jpg\")
