Fixture Name And Competition: Aston Villa vs Liverpool: FA Cup

Date & Time: 01:30 AM (IST), 9 January
Venue: Villa Stadium

Recent form:

Aston Villa: Despite the 1-2 defeat at Old Trafford against Manchester United, the Villains are a team on the up. Dean Smith has done a marvellous job so far as his team remains in contention to qualify for Europe.
Liverpool: The Reds picked up only 2 points from nine available. To make matter worse, both Manchester Clubs clocked maximum return during that stretch, erasing all the advantage Liverpool had over them. Jurgen Klopp’s team could do with a win here.

But the Reds still boast an imperious head-to-head record against their fellow English rivals, winning 96 times and losing on 59 occasions.
Aston Villa Wins- 02
Draws– 00
Liverpool Wins– 03

Last meeting: 7-1 home win for Aston Villa in the Premier League.

AVL vs LIV Teams Captain options, Differential Picks

Anwar El-Ghazi: Along with superstar Jack Grealish and Watkins, El Ghazi is the most in-form player for Villa at the moment. He is a good captain option in Dream 11 prediction teams. Goals: 06

Xherdan Shaqiri: An enormously talented player whose career has been pulled back by too many injuries. But he is fit at the moment, and we all know how good he is.
Watch out for his through balls and dead-ball skills.

X-factors, differential picks

Bertrand Traore: He is indispensable at the moment. His ability to take on defenders and his tracking back makes him a no-nonsense option here.
