Liverpool are aiming to avoid a fifth straight Premier League defeat and seventh loss from eight matches when they host Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
The Reds enter the weekend in disastrous form having succumbed to yet another dismal defeat midweek. Having lost at Brentford last weekend, Arne Slot’s much-changed team were beaten 3–0 by Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup fourth round—one of the club’s worst Anfield defeats of the modern era and their third loss to the Eagles this term.
