Aston Villa vs Liverpool betting tips and predictions: Mohamed Salah to score in goal fest, but can Grealish cause problems?

Liverpool will hope to continue their perfect start to the campaign when they take on Aston Villa tonight.

Here are our predictions and betting tips for the Premier League clash at Villa Park…

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool haven’t been at their best yet but boast three wins from three – an ominous sign.If they get out of third gear, they could really put a team to the sword and it’s 4/11 for them to score 2+ goals against Villa.

The Reds have looked formidable in attack and Mo Salah and Sadio Mane already have six goals between them this term.

Mane misses out after contracting coronavirus, leaving Salah as the Reds’ main man.

Salah will hungrier then ever to score as he has netted since hitting a hat-trick against Leeds on the opening day.

Salah will be out to add to his goal tally this weekend

Liverpool to win and Salah to have 2 or more shots on target this weekend is a tempting bet at 10/11.

Villa, though, will be determined to upset the odds and are in great form, winning four on the spin in all competitions.

They have been buoyed by the signing of Ross Barkley from Chelsea this week and he could strike up a good partnership in midfield with club captain Jack Grealish, who is a man for the big occasion.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher recently claimed Grealish wasn’t good enough to play for the Premier League champions and he might just be keen to prove him wrong.

While we expect Liverpool to win, Villa can cause them problems and Grealish is their chief provider. He is a tempting 6/1 to get an assist on Sunday night.

Grealish will hope to prove his class against Liverpool

When the two sides face each other, there have been plenty of goals recently, including a 5-0 win for Villa in the Carabao Cup last term and a 6-0 win for Liverpool back in February 2016.

You can get 8/15 on there being over 2.5 goals in the game.
