Liverpool

A 1-3 victory at Villa Park should bring a positive atmosphere to Anfield. Every time you beat Villa in its house, the level of happiness goes up for one bar. Liverpool’s fans are additionally happy for Cody Gakpo’s arrival, with the PSV forward maybe even debuting on Friday.

The defense was once again pretty sluggish, but we will repeat that Leicester conceded early and couldn’t recover. It was only the second event in the last 10 in which the Foxes couldn’t keep its net intact.

The big problem for Rodgers is the fact that he probably won’t have James Maddison in this event, as well as several other notable players. Maddison is by far the best player in this team and someone whose absence will be dearly felt.
