Aston Villa Recent Form — Last 5
Liverpool Recent Form — Last 5
Key Factors
Both teams are level on 59 points, making this a direct 'six-pointer' for the final Champions League spot.
Aston Villa face a Europa League final in just 5 days (May 20), creating significant risk of squad rotation and mental distraction.
Liverpool consistently generate superior xG (avg 2.0+) but have struggled with finishing; the return of Alexander Isak and Mo Salah (bench) provides a clinical upgrade.
Villa's defensive transition is compromised with both Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara sidelined, leaving them vulnerable to Liverpool's vertical counters.
Injuries & Absentees
Aston Villa are heavily impacted in central midfield with Boubacar Kamara, Amadou Onana, and Alysson all confirmed out. This forces Unai Emery to rely on a less defensive-minded pairing like Tielemans and Barkley. Liverpool remain without Alisson and Florian Wirtz (illness) is a major doubt, but they welcome back Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah to the matchday squad, providing much-needed firepower.
