For Aston Villa, it’s the first match in the FA Cup this season. Last year, however, the performance had been less successful. There the Villans started in the third round and had to face a narrow 1-2 defeat against Fulham. Thus, the elimination after only one match had been perfect. This year the eleven will want to rise significantly and surprise the Reds from Liverpool.
However, the performances were far from convincing. In the English Premier League, only three wins came from the last six competitive matches. These successes resulted against Crystal Palace (3:0), West Bromwich (3:0) and Wolverhampton (1:0). On the other hand, however, Burnley (0:0) and Chelsea (1:1) shared the points. The last match day at Manchester United resulted in a narrow 1-2 bankruptcy.
With a record of eight wins, two draws and five defeats, the Villans occupy eighth place in the Premier League table. 26 points result from the past 15 matches.
