Key factors

What will decide this match?

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

  1. Home advantage

    Edge: Even

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Villa. That narrows the gap but does not cancel Liverpool's extra quality.

  2. Expected goals

    Edge: Even

    At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to 50/50 (52% for the over).

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Liverpool

    Liverpool rate clearly higher and the draw is only 25%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Aston Villa

Villa are organised and hard to break down, and they usually get results at Villa Park by winning the midfield.

Away

Liverpool

Liverpool are built to dominate the ball. They should have most of the possession on their trip to Villa Park and keep Villa pinned in their own half for long spells.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Liverpool name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Villa score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.
