Ready for the knockout blow. Everton started their season well with six points from three games and got back on track after their opening defeat. Then came two wins and the clear feeling that this is a team that can still improve. Aston Villa, on the other hand, have had a shocking start: zero goals scored, four conceded, and only one point to their name. Very poor indeed.
And against a Liverpool side that is in good shape both mentally and physically, it is clear that the visitors could be in for a nasty shock, one that could even jeopardize all the confidence they have gained over the years. One thing, however, is certain: at least the visitors will take the zero out of that box.
The home side have conceded three goals so far this season, an average of one per game. And even if it’s not an average to boast about, they will certainly continue to make it so. Let’s be clear: they are struggling at the back, but up front they have players who can make the difference at any moment.
