Emery could now unleash Aston Villa’s own Salah in “unbelievable” star

Aston Villa head into tonight’s Premier League fixture with Liverpool desperate to get back to winning ways in front of their adoring Villa Park faithful. Last time out, Unai Emery’s men picked up a flat point versus relegation-threatened Ipswich Town on their own patch, with the result made to look even more bleak by the fact the Tractor Boys managed to pick up that point despite only having ten men for all of the second 45 minutes.

Villa will be aware that they must be at their best to take advantage of Liverpool’s rustiness, especially if Mohamed Salah is at his terrifying best, even though the Reds are now displaying some weaknesses with a stalemate in the Merseyside Derby and a narrow victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The cunning attacker is having the best season of his life, despite the fact that the Egyptian star is approaching his 32nd birthday and is concerned about his long-term future at Anfield.

Salah has an incredible 28 goals and 19 assists across all competitions so far this season, with the entirety of those goal contributions—37, to be exact—occurring in the top flight.

Villa will realize that in order to try and get a result and further dampen Arne Slot’s mood, they will need to keep the mysterious Salah quiet all night. He has scored goals and provided some assistance in his high-flying team’s last five games as well.

With the player in question equally at ease playing on the right wing and when using his brilliant left foot, Emery may even have his own Salah up his sleeve for this Wednesday night match.

Following an exciting conclusion to the busy transfer window, which saw them sign loan deals with Axel Disasi, Marcus Rashford, and Marco Asensio, Villa was undoubtedly the talk of the town.

Asensio may be given a start down the right wing to surprise Slot and company, who may be expecting Rashford to rush into the XI after he clattered the crossbar against Ipswich. Disasi is expected to start again in the center-back positions.
