I will miss the EPL as it winds down for the season. Starting to get the ups and downs of that league. Both sides lock in Champions League spots for next season with a win. The Reds have a gazillion player availability questions under a possible lame-duck manager. I love British headlines. Liverpool manager Arne Slot "Might Survive the Sack." Might we all. The Brits just know how to talk (After Life, Fleabag, Catastrophe, early Black Mirror). Home finale for Villa. Draw works just fine.
Neither Aston Villa nor Liverpool have mathematically locked up Champions League qualification. Bournemouth are nipping at their heels, and Villa cannot afford to finish their final home match of the season without a point. It also helps that Villa are unbeaten in their last six final home matches of the season, which gives me more confidence in the double chance bet. Liverpool are dealing with fitness issues as well, especially in attack. The line is juiced, but I struggle to see Villa losing this match.
