Aston Villa vs Liverpool prediction and form for Klopp's LAST road trip | OneFootball

The end of the 2023-24 season has been a bitter pill to swallow for Liverpool fans with Jurgen Klopp's 'Last Dance' running out of steam in the Premier League title race.

The final chapter of the Klopp era, marked by inconsistency and injuries, has left Reds fans longing for the spark which ignited the trophy-laden journey under the charismatic German.

Champions League qualification for next year is secure, but a faltering domestic campaign and an underwhelming Europa League exit at the hands of Atalanta have left Klopp departing with a whimper rather than a bang.

As the Reds head into their final days under his stewardship, Aston Villa will provide another difficult task, as the hosts themselves need another win to secure a Champions League spot next year.

It is the last road trip of Klopp's Anfield reign (8pm UK, Monday night, Sky Sports), so how will things play out on Monday night in the Midlands?

Current Form and Team News

The Reds will be aiming to give Klopp the perfect send-off in his final days as boss. They recently returned to winning ways with a 4-2 triumph over Tottenham last weekend, rediscovering the goal touch which had deserted them in those crucial losses at home to Crystal Palace and then in the derby at Goodison.

In terms of team news, Klopp will provide an update on Diogo Jota's fitness following his absence in the Spurs win. Ben Doak, Joel Matip, and Thiago Alcantara remain unavailable.

Villa, meanwhile, are limping towards the finish line following injuries to key players. Their Europa Conference League hopes were dashed by defeat at the hands of Olympiakos, and their recent Premier League defeat to Brighton further dampened spirits.

Unai Emery's side will assess Morgan Rogers, Nicolo Zaniolo, and Youri Tielemans before the match, while Jacob Ramsey, Tyrone Mings, Emi Buendia, and Boubacar Kamara are confirmed absentees.

Prediction and Potential Scoreline

Liverpool have recently dominated this fixture, with the last ten games across the Premier League and FA Cup between the two seeing the Reds win seven, Villa winning two and one draw in May 2023. Despite Villa's home advantage, their injuries and packed fixture schedule could hinder their performance.

In contrast, Liverpool's attacking form makes them favourites. We expect goals, and the Reds should edge this one after an entertaining game.

Our Prediction: Liverpool to win 3-2
