There’s one EPL fixture on Monday, December 6, 2010 as Liverpool hosts Aston Villa. Below is a brief match preview along with a live blog. The live blog will begin coverage around 2:50 PM EST (7:50 PM local UK time).

Match Preview

Liverpool (last 6 EPL matches – WWDLWL)

After a very slow start, Liverpool is slowly climbing their way up the EPL table. They have own their last three league matches at Anfield but are without several key players. Liverpool will be far from full strength with injuries to Jamie Carragher and Steve Gerrard.

Aston Villa (last 6 EPL matches – DDWDLL)

Villa are winless in their last four away EPL matches and only two points above the relegation zone. They have six points from their last six matches and a -10 goal difference in away matches. Betting odds have Aston Villa as 11/2 to get the win.

Prediction

Even without Carragher and Gerrard, Liverpool have been strong at Anfield and should get the win against a struggling Villa side.
