We really need to win this, villa play their game in hand today and are five points ahead of us. We need to gain ground, to lose twice to them would be unthinkable and a draw wouldn't help much either.
We've only lost game 20 three times in the Premiership, P17 W8 D6 L3.
06/07 BLA 1-0 LIV
00/01 MID 1-0 LIV
92/93 COV 5-1 LIV
So last time we played a midlands side in game 20 of the Premiership we got our backsides well and truly kicked - and Coventry only finished FIFTEENTH so it wasn't like they had a good season. We lost 11 away that season, we are halfway to repeating that poor record. It's the most we've lost away in the Premiership and to prove it was no fluke Souness repeated it in 93/94. As if we need parallels with Rafa's first season, the only other time we lost 11 away games was..................................2004/05
We've only lost five times at villa park in the Premiership, and only won there seven times - P17 W7 D5 L5 - so expect a close game.
97/98 AVL 2-1 LIV
96/97 AVL 1-0 LIV
94/95 AVL 2-0 LIV
93/94 AVL 2-1 LIV
92/93 AVL 4-2 LIV
Unfortunately our record at vp by goals scored leaves a nagging doubt given our lack of consistent goalscoring this season
0 goals : P6 W0 D4 L2 (Won 0.00%)
1 goal : P4 W1 D1 L2 (Won 25.00%)
2 goals : P5 W4 D0 L1 (Won 80.00%)
3+ goals : P2 W2 D0 L0 (Won 100.00%)
Up against a villa side whose home record this season is : P9 W6 D2 L1 F17 A6 PTS 20. Chelsea lost there, oddly enough the only side to win there was Wigan first game of the season and they are the only visiting side to score more than one goal - Wigan won 2-0, the Premiership sides scoring one goal were Chelsea (L1-2), Bolton (L1-5), Man City (D1-1) and Tottenham (D1-1). villa play Arsenal today, they beat the mancs at old twatford and us at Anfield. That makes their record against the big six (includes spudz and citeh) P5 W3 D2 L0 compared to our's against a big six, with them replacing us, P6 W1 D1 L4

Never buy from PC World, product quality is poor and their 'customer service' is even poorer
