Last Meeting
Liverpool ended a four-match Premier League losing streak with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Anfield on November 1, 2025. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring just before half-time when Emiliano Martínez's misplaced pass went straight to the Egyptian, who rolled into an empty net for his 250th Liverpool goal — becoming only the third player to reach that landmark after Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. Ryan Gravenberch's deflected effort after the break sealed the win and gave Liverpool their first clean sheet in 11 matches.
Aston Villa 2025/26 Season
Unai Emery continues to build something special at Villa Park, with the club firmly established among the Premier League's elite. After securing Europa League football by finishing sixth in 2024/25, Villa have pushed on this season and sit fourth in the table with 51 points. The Spaniard's tactical acumen has transformed Villa into genuine contenders for Champions League qualification, with a solid defensive record and clinical finishing from the likes of Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers driving their challenge.
Liverpool 2025/26 Season
Arne Slot's second season at Liverpool has proved more turbulent than his first, which delivered a triumphant Premier League title. The Reds sit fifth on 48 points, just outside the Champions League places, with the impending departures of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson at the end of the season casting a shadow over the campaign. A quarter-final exit to PSG in the Champions League has added pressure on Slot's side to secure European qualification through the league. Key performers this season have included Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch.
