Match Details
This fixture is played at Villa Park in Birmingham. The exact date and kickoff time are confirmed closer to the fixture and are subject to change for television scheduling. With both clubs typically competing near the top of the table, encounters between Villa and Liverpool often carry significant implications for the race for European qualification, ensuring a charged atmosphere whenever the two meet.
Villa Park
Villa Park has been home to Aston Villa since 1897 and boasts a capacity of 42,682. One of English soccer's most historic venues, the stadium is undergoing significant redevelopment, with the North Stand expansion set to take capacity beyond 50,000 and the ground operating as a three-sided stadium during the 2026-27 season while the work is carried out. Villa Park provides a formidable atmosphere for visiting sides, and the Holte End remains one of the most passionate stands in English soccer.
Head-to-Head Record
Liverpool hold a commanding lead in the all-time head-to-head, having won the majority of meetings between the clubs across all competitions, with Villa winning a smaller share and a significant number of games drawn. Liverpool's dominance has been even more pronounced in the Premier League era, with Villa among the clubs they have beaten most often in league competition. However, Villa have become far more competitive in this fixture under Unai Emery, as their emphatic recent home win demonstrated.
Recent Meetings
Aston Villa produced an emphatic 4-2 victory over Liverpool at Villa Park in May 2026, a result that proved decisive in securing their top-four finish and Champions League qualification. The win underlined how far Emery's side have come and ranked among the most significant home results of their campaign.
The reverse fixture went Liverpool's way earlier in the season, with the Reds winning 2-0 at Anfield on November 1, 2025. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring just before half-time when an Emiliano Martínez error let the Egyptian roll 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 a first clean sheet in 11 matches.
Aston Villa 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 soccer by finishing sixth in 2024/25, Villa pushed on to finish fourth in 2025/26, qualifying for the Champions League and crowning their campaign by winning the Europa League in 2026 - their first major trophy in around three decades. The Spaniard's tactical acumen has transformed Villa into genuine European contenders, with a solid defensive record and clinical finishing from the likes of Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers driving their challenge.
Liverpool Season
Liverpool endured a turbulent 2025/26 campaign that proved a stark contrast to the title triumph of Arne Slot's first season. The Reds secured Champions League qualification only on the final day with a fifth-place finish, and a quarterfinal exit to PSG in the Champions League added to the pressure on a difficult year. Following an end-of-season review, Slot departed and Andoni Iraola was appointed as head coach, with the high-intensity style he developed at Bournemouth tasked with reigniting the side. The summer also saw the departure of Mohamed Salah. Key performers in recent seasons have included Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch.
