Preview: ASTON VILLA vs. Liverpool – Premier League

AI Pro Monday Night Football: THE 2023–24 Premier League Season’s Last Clash
Finale de la Premier League
Monday night football is back for one more time in the 2023–2024 season as the Premier League season approaches its conclusion. Naturally, football fans will be kept busy during the summer by the international competitions, but they will still miss the exciting and captivating local season. Both Aston Villa and Liverpool will be happy with their overall seasons, despite the fact that their brief but ambitious phases were again pulled down in the last few weeks as each illustrious English team gave up. Both players are certain to hold their current spots in the final standings, making this matchup all but meaningless.

TEAM UPDATES AND NEW FORM
The Reds’ former transfer target Boubacar Kamara, Emiliano Buendia, Tyrone Mings, and Jacob Ramsey are all unavailable, while Nicolo Zaniolo and Youri Tielemans are both battling to be fit enough to be included in the matchday squad. In terms of recent performance, the Midlands team humiliatingly lost 6-2 overall against Olympiacos of Greece to send them sailing out of the Europa Conference League at the semifinal stage. In between those two legs was a 1-0 loss on the road to Brighton, which came after a simple 3-1 victory against visiting Bournemouth at home and a 2-2 draw with Chelsea. With 36 games completed, Unai Emery’s outstanding team has accumulated 67 points and is in a commanding fourth place. The Spanish manager is undoubtedly a strong candidate for manager of the year.

ASTON VILLA’S SELECTION PREDICTION
Below is a projected starting lineup for the home team, configured in a 3-4-3 configuration.

GK – Clément Lenglet LCB – Pau Torres LWB – Emiliano Martínez RWB – Matty Cash RCW – Ezri Konsa CB Leon Bailey CF – Lucas Digne CM – Douglas Luiz CM – John McGinn RW – Ollie Watkins LW – Jhon Durán

SQUAD HEALTH AND PROJECTIONS FOR LIVERPOOL
Regarding injuries, Joël Matip has an ACL injury that will force him to leave the team at the end of this season, and Thiago Alcântara is the injured departee who will never play for Liverpool again. Diogo Joga is a late fitness candidate that might not be worth taking a chance at this point.

In terms of recent performance, a fantastic 4-2 victory at home against visiting Tottenham was preceded by a 2-2 draw away to West Ham and a 2-0 loss to Everton. These lost points came after a convincing 1-3 victory at Fulham, which came after a 0-1 victory at Atalanta. Liverpool had accumulated 78 points after 36 games, placing them third in the standings and securing their last league spot.

THE SAID LINE-UP FOR LIVERPOOL AT VILLA PARK
The lineup that I think the German manager of the Reds will start at Villa Park is below; it should not change from the one that destroyed Spurs.

ALisson BECKER (GK), Trent Alexander Arnold (RB), and Arnold (RCB) Jarell Quansah L.C.B. – Van Dijk Virgil (c)
LB – Waturu Endō LCM – Andy Robertson RCM – Harvey Elliott CDM – Cody Gakpo CF; Alexis Mac Allister RF; Mohamed Salah CF; Luis Díaz LF

COMPARE PERSPECTIVES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Considering that the host team returned from Greece on Friday after losing the competition, I fail to see how they would have avoided suffering from a European hangover. Liverpool’s team has to perform well and earn the respect of Arne Slot, the incoming head coach, so the pressure is on to make an impression.
