BETDISTRICT PREDICTION: With Gerrard and Suarez fit there is no reason for which Liverpool shouldn`t record a comfortable win against an inferior and out of form opponent. ‘Pool is very strong at home and likes to win by big handicaps, so they shouls be able to cover a 1 or even 2 goal handicap here. Liverpool – Aston Villa 3-0.
