Premier League: Mark Lawrenson makes prediction on Aston Villa v Liverpool

Liverpool will be on action for their next Premier League game against Aston Villa on Sunday.

The Reds will be looking to celebrate another league win, following the defeat to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night. Meanwhile, Villa would rival for another successful game this term, after gaining six points from their previous two league matches.

And ahead of the clash, BBC sport pundit Mark Lawrenson has made his prediction. He believes Liverpool would continue their title defence by beating Dean Smith's side with a score of 0-2.

"This fixture turned into a pivotal game for Liverpool last season - they were 1-0 down with three minutes left last November, but ended up winning 2-1.

It was one of those games where Jurgen Klopp's side were not at their best, but still found a way to win.

Liverpool are playing well at the moment, though. Yes, you could say the same about Aston Villa - and they already look a better team than they were last season - but you have to consider who they have played so far.

Villa beat Sheffield United, who are yet to score a goal, and Fulham, who have shipped plenty. Liverpool are a much sterner proposition at both ends," pundit said.
