Betting Preview
After rotating heavily in the EFL Cup defeat to Crystal Palace, Arne Slot was under pressure to deliver a response, and he got exactly that. Facing the prospect of becoming the first Liverpool manager to lose five straight Premier League games, the Dutchman’s side produced a much-needed 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.
Mohamed Salah’s 250th Liverpool goal set the tone before Ryan Gravenberch added a second, sealing only their second win in eight matches across all competitions. The result eased the tension around Slot, who now turns his attention back to Europe, where Liverpool have been much stronger.

Their emphatic 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt earlier in the campaign pushed them into Champions League contention, and a dramatic 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid extended their incredible run to 15 straight home wins in European group or league-stage games. Notably, Liverpool ended an eight-game losing streak against Real Madrid last season with a 2-0 win at Anfield, proof that history can swing.
But Real Madrid arrive looking unstoppable. Xabi Alonso’s men have won 13 of their 14 matches this season, including all three in the Champions League, and sit top of La Liga after a 4-0 demolition of Valencia followed by a thrilling El Clásico triumph. The only blemish? A wild 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid.
