Aston Villa under Unai Emery has surpassed expectations this season, flirting with a Champions League spot—a significant achievement given their history. However, recent dips in form, especially in defence, expose vulnerabilities that Liverpool could exploit. The potential fatigue from European engagements might also affect Villa's usual resilience and energy. Ollie Watkins is key for Villa. His historical performances against Liverpool highlight his potential to be a game-changer. His ability to exploit Liverpool's defensive lapses will be crucial if Villa hopes to secure a result. Liverpool's season has been a mixed affair with the highlight being a League Cup victory but marked by underperformance in other competitions. The team is in transition, potentially seeing the departure of stars like Mo Salah, adding emotional weight to their final games. Liverpool has shown signs of a resurgence recently, possibly motivated to end strongly for their departing coach and teammates. Mohamed Salah remains a pivotal figure in Liverpool's attack. Amidst talks of his departure, his performance will be crucial. Villa's extensive injury list could limit Emery’s tactical choices, particularly in defence, which might not go well against Liverpool’s attack. Liverpool’s healthier squad gives Klopp more flexibility in selection and tactics. Goals should come but in terms of winner, I see the Reds in a better position.

在埃梅里的带领下，阿斯顿维拉本赛季的表现超出了人们的预期，有望进入欧冠联赛——考虑到他们的历史，这是一项重大成就。然而，最近状态的下滑，尤其是在防守方面，暴露了利物浦可以利用的弱点。欧洲赛事带来的潜在疲劳也可能影响到比利亚平时的韧性和活力。奥利·沃特金斯是维拉的关键。在对阵利物浦的比赛中，他历史性的表现凸显了他改变比赛的潜力。如果维拉希望取得胜利，他利用利物浦防守漏洞的能力将是至关重要的。利物浦本赛季喜忧参半，联赛杯夺冠是亮点，但在其他比赛中表现不佳。这支球队正在转型，可能会看到像萨拉赫这样的球星离开，这给他们的最后一场比赛增加了情感上的负担。利物浦最近表现出了复苏的迹象，可能是出于对他们即将离开的教练和队友的强烈渴望。萨拉赫仍然是利物浦进攻端的关键人物。在他离开的传言中，他的表现将是至关重要的。维拉庞大的伤病名单可能会限制埃梅里的战术选择，特别是在防守方面，这可能不会很好地对抗利物浦的进攻。利物浦更健康的阵容给了克洛普更多的选择和战术的灵活性。进球是会到来的，但就胜利者而言，我认为红军处于更有利的位置。
