This Saturday’s big game in the English Premier league pits together two teams with entirely different ambitions for the season.

Aston Villa are determined to avoid relegation back to the Championship, while Liverpool are eyeing their first Premier League title since 1990. Liverpool’s title credentials were severely tested on the weekend as they had to come from behind to beat a plucky Tottenham Hotspurs 2-1 at Anfield.

Liverpool are presently on top of the moon after beating Arsenal 5-4 in a shoot-out after Divock Origi’s goal deep into added time to make it 5-5 had taken it to penalties at Anfield in a crazy Carabao Cup fourth-round game.

Event # 1 – English Premier League – Aston Villa vs Liverpool

Aston Villa have performed admirable on home turf since returning to the Premier League but facing a rampant Liverpool side will be another acid test of how far they have come.

Last weekend, Villa travelled to Manchester City following back-to-back wins over Norwich and Brighton aiming to upset the champions. An upset seemed on the cards as they kept City scoreless in the first half of that game before being put to the sword in the second half as City ran out easy 3-0 winners.

Liverpool, on the other hand, showed great character in a 2-1 win over fellow heavyweight Tottenham, coming from a goal down to secure victory in a dominant second half display with their often-maligned skipper Jordon Henderson scoring a rare equaliser, and Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah netting the winner.

The Reds also had to come from behind to rescue a point in a 1-1 draw at Manchester United the previous week. Liverpool are looking to maintain their six-point advantage over Manchester City who is expected to easily brush aside Southampton later Saturday. With the Reds looking to lift their first league title since 1990, anything other than a win at Villa Park against a side struggling down towards the foot of the table side will be a huge disappointment. The last game at Villa Park in the Premier League between these two sides ended in a 6-0 win for the Reds in February 2016.

KEY STATS

Aston Villa have only lost once at home this season, they have won twice and drawn twice in their last four matches at Villa Park.
