Liverpool Faces Aston Villa, Aims for Ten-Point Lead

Liverpool faces Aston Villa at Villa Park, aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League by ten points. The Reds will be without key players Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez, and Tyler Morton due to injuries, while Curtis Jones returns from suspension. Liverpool's recent performance included a narrow 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton, and they are under pressure to improve against a challenging Villa side. Manager Arne Slot may make adjustments to the lineup, considering Darwin Nunez is expected to start in place of Diogo Jota. Aston Villa, struggling with injuries, will look to bounce back after a disappointing draw against Ipswich. The match is crucial for both teams as they pursue their respective goals in the Premier League.
