Prediction: 2-1
Aston Villa
Buoyed by a come-from-behind win over Brighton, Liverpool will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Aston Villa on Matchday 11. The Reds are seen as one of the main candidates to lift the trophy, but Arne Slot’s troops need to keep on improving their game if they are to meet the goal. Luis Diaz should be recalled to the starting XI after coming as a substitute against the Seagulls, while all Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker, Federico Chiesa, and Harvey Elliot remain on the treatment table.
Defender Ibrahima Konate should be fit for the match. The Villans, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Tottenham and that is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the league leaders. Last time out Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 3-0 at Anfield. Ross Barkley remains in the recovery room, but both Morgan Rogers and Matty Cash are fit for the match.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Aston Villa):
Aston Villa is one of the three clubs that dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign. The Villans host their rivals at Villa Park, the stadium that was opened in 1897 and its’ capacity is 42,682. However, it has to be noted that the highest attendance recorded at the stadium was 76,588 when Aston Villa faced Derby County in the FA Cup back in 1946.
Aston Villa’s fiercest rivals are Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. Nonetheless, the rivalry between Aston Villa and Wolves and Coventry City is big as well. Aston Villa have won seven First Division (Premier League) trophies, with the team clinching seven FA Cup trophies as well.
The team’s biggest success, though, came in 1982 when they won the European Cup. The Villans defeated Bayern Munich (1-0) in the title game and Peter Withe was named the man of the match.
