Aston Villa desperately need points on Wednesday, Dec 30 at 9:00 PM in the Premier League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Aston Villa come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Liverpool, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
