The seven-time champion and winner of the FA Cup last season somehow miraculously entered the Premier League. How can one not put the team as an example to all skeptics who are trying to prove that fifth place in the Championship is not a cause for joy. However, the performance of the “villa” in the Premier League is really not encouraging. Over the 33 rounds, Aston Villa managed to record seven victories and six world victories in the asset, which brought 27 points and 18-th place in the relegation zone. The distance to the relegation zone is four points, which will be extremely difficult to overcome, especially with rivals like today. Dean Smiths charges of attack are rather mediocre – 36 scored, seven of which are on the account of Grilish and five are on Wesley. Hosts failed the defense, which conceded 62 goals, which is unacceptable for competitions of this level. After a long break, the burgundy-blue were able to get only two points – a draw with Sheffield United (0: 0) and Newcastle (1: 1), and the team lost three games, losing on Sunday to Liverpool (0: 2). Targett, Wesley, Heaton, Engels and Kalinich will not be able to take part in today’s match.
Liverpool for the 19-th time won the title of champion of England and made this in a record short time. After 33 rounds, the Reds won 29 victories and tied twice, which brought them 89 points, which is 23 more than the nearest pursuer – Manchester City, whom the Merseysiders kindly allowed to replay themselves with the score 4-0, which spoiled the fantastic statistics of goals conceded (25 for the whole season). The champion scored a lot and out of 72 realized moments, Salah scored 17 goals and Mane scored 16. After a forced long break, Jurgen Klopp’s wards started with a draw by Everton (0-0) and in addition to losing to MS, they got two dry victories – over Crystal Palace (4-0) and Aston Villa (2-0), for which we gave a forecast. Matip, Christy-Davis, Lovren and Milner will not be able to take part in today’s match.
