The second most important meeting of the 29th game day of the Premier League will be held between 26 and 27 rounds of the English championship. The football community is accustomed to postponement of duels for various reasons, but for later dates. However in this case, the English national association frees up the time slot of mid-March, when Liverpool are scheduled to play the English League Cup final against Newcastle United. It would seem that in Birmingham will meet the leader of the championship of the country and a solid mid-table Premier League. However, the rivals are united by their success in the Champions League, where they won the right to play in the 1/8 finals bypassing the stage of the knockout stage. Unai Emery's team this success is too expensive. The team is not hopelessly behind the European Cup zone, but the current ninth place obliges "Villans" not to divide opponents into top clubs and outsiders - everyone must win. Bookmakers have identified the guests as favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.84 on their victory.

Unai Emery has brought Aston Villa to the level of the best teams in the Premier League in just two years. Previously, this club struggled for survival and even left the elite division of England. Another thing is that the class of this team is still not enough to fight for high results on several football fronts like Liverpool. Before the reported meeting "Villans" made a serious misfire, when in their arena failed to outplay Ipswich Town, from the 40th minute played in the minority. Unfortunately, such a bleak result in recent weeks is not the first time Emery's wards are allowed. Aston Villa have won only two of their last seven games in different tournaments.

Liverpool the last couple of weeks is also nothing to be proud of. During this short period of time, the Reds dropped out of the FA Cup through the efforts of modest Plymouth, missed out on a Premier League win in the Merseyside derby because of a goal in the last minute of extra time. The victory in the last game over Wolverhampton "dwelling" near the relegation zone was not so easy for Liverpool - 2:1. We bet that the rivals will show competitive football and exchange goals.
