Liverpool are strong at Anfield, unbeaten in their last five home matches with four wins. Their recent head-to-head record over Villa, including three wins in five, shows dominance. The odds at 1.40 reflect their status as heavy favorites.

Aston Villa's last nine matches have seen under 2.5 goals eight times. Both teams focus on defensive shape. With Liverpool likely to control the tempo at home, under 3.5 is a safer play at 1.57 odds.

Liverpool tend to keep it tight at home. Villa have struggled to score consistently away, and solid recent defensive performances from Liverpool suggest at least one clean sheet at 1.95 odds.
