Liverpool - Aston Villa

[Ministar]

I will go with draw on this one.

Ashley Young and Albrighton 2 of the most important wingers for Villa are missing. This basically should mean Villa will play very defensive I think.

Albrighton is playing for Villa, but no Gerrard and no Torres for Liverpool, no bet but I wouldn't touch the over here..

[swiss88]

yep, not what I imagined but a good thing I didn't bet the under

[alon7777777]

Villa +1 is a bad play IMO, why would you hope that they don't lose by 1 goal? You are pushing at ebst with this, if you want an upset take their ML otherwise Liverpool should get this win at home.

Even without Torres and Gerrard you can see why this game meant so much for Liverpool, you have to understand EPL politics, you can't just think about who is better as a club, it's not profitable in the long run.

[Gee]

I think Liverpool's plan is to get as many points they can at home. They are hopeless away from home against descent teams. They beat Chelsea at home then lose to Stoke away. Doesn't matter who they are missing, this is an important game for them.

good call mate.

it was nice to see liverpool win. at least i followed the golden rule and avoided having a punt on the under when emotions were involved in making the call. i meant about things getting worse is that, the team that ran out last night may be the permanent 1st team if things don't improve :/

Liverpool(-1) fellas

Gr8 call mate

The surprising thing about the match is that Villa just did not compete. Their chances on goal were almost non-existent against a team supposedly hit by injuries and containing fringe and junior players. Liverpool absolutely outclassed and outplayed them.
