Out of form Liverpool host Aston Villa at Anfield looking to avoid five consecutive Premier League games for the first time and resurrect their ailing season. 

The Reds are in a full-blown crisis having lost their last four league games and six of their last seven across all competitions. Wednesday's hammering by Crystal Palace in the League Cup might have come against a heavily rotated side but it only added to the gloom around Arne Slot's side. 

It couldn't be a more different story for Aston Villa and Unai Emery, whose league season has gone in reverse to Liverpool's. Having failed to win any of their first five games, they are now on a four-game winning run and will fancy another scalp having beaten Manchester City last weekend. 

Can Liverpool stop the rot or can Villa add to their ever-growing woes? AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips, predictions and odds. 

Liverpool vs. Aston Villa preview: Who will win?

Liverpool have not lost five straight league games since 1953 in a season that saw them relegated to the old Division Two, which tells you the dire straits they currently find themselves in.

They've lost their last two games at Anfield and feel miles off the side that coasted to the league title last season, meaning Villa should have little to fear. 

Emery will fancy another famous win but we think the Reds will slow down the rot with a point. A score draw would be enough for a payout as part of Betfair's latest new customer offer.

Liverpool vs. Aston Villa Score Prediction 

With his side currently leaking goals - no clean sheets in nine games - Arne Slot will surely try to keep his side compact and tight here even with so much attacking talent at his disposal. 

Villa are the lowest scorers in the top half with just nine goals to their name but have the third best defensive record across the division. 

Both factors could contribute to a cagier than possibly anticipated and a low-scoring share of the points. Will that be enough to ease the pressure on Slot?

Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Aston Villa (8/1 with Bet365)

Liverpool Team News

  • In a huge boost to the Reds, Ryan Gravenberch should return here and Arne Slot may go with his previously favoured midfield three. 
  • Alexander Isak and Curtis Jones are big doubts while Alisson and Jeremie Frimpong are weeks off returns. 
  • Mohamed Salah  will start and having netted in the loss at Brentford, he is now just goal or assist away from equalling Wayne Rooney's record for most goal contributions (276) with a single Premier League club. 

Aston Villa Team News

  • Emiliano Buendia came off in the win over Man City and is a big doubt here, meaning Donyell Malen or Jadon Sancho could start. 
  • Harvey Elliott is ineligible against his parent club but he has barely featured for Unai Emery and could return to Anfield in January. 
  • Youri Tielemans remains Villa's biggest absentee with the Belgian captain not yet ready for a return from a calf injury. 

Liverpool vs. Aston Villa Predicted Lineups

This is how we think these two sides will line up with Slot dropping Florian Wirtz and restoring his title-winning midfield three, and Emery going for Donyell Malen over Jadon Sancho in attack. 

Liverpool predicted lineup to play Aston Villa

(4-3-3) Mamardashvili (GK) — Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez — Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai — Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike
