Stats for this game
Matchup Liverpool VS Aston Villa
Liverpool set the traditional benchmark
Liverpool have supplied the stronger reference across this long-running English fixture. They won 3–0 at home on 6 December 2010, 2–0 at Villa Park on 18 December 2011 and 6–0 away on 14 February 2016. Liverpool also won 4–1 away in the FA Cup on 8 January 2021 and 3–0 at Anfield on 3 September 2023, showing that their advantage can survive different competition settings.
Villa can produce decisive reversals
Aston Villa have repeatedly demonstrated the scale of the possible swing. They won 3–1 at Anfield on 15 December 2012 and 1–0 there on 13 September 2014, then delivered a 7–2 home victory on 4 October 2020. Liverpool answered with a 2–1 home win on 10 April 2021 and a 3–1 away success on 26 December 2022, while Villa and Liverpool drew 3–3 at Villa Park on 13 May 2024. Liverpool won 2–0 at Anfield on 1 November 2025, but Villa replied 4–2 at home on 15 May 2026. That mixture of authority and volatility makes the pairing compelling. A future meeting will ask whether Liverpool can sustain control or Villa can again turn the fixture into an open challenge.
