Sports Mole previews the Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Liverpool.

Aston Villa welcome Liverpool to Villa Park on Saturday as they look to record their third Premier League victory in a row.

Villa have found some form in recent weeks to move out of the relegation zone, and three points against Liverpool could see them move as high as 15th.

Manager Paul Lambert is likely to retain the majority of the team that beat Queens Park Rangers 3-2 two weeks ago, but he may decide to replace Nathan Baker with Joe Bennett.

Liverpool were stunned in their last match by Southampton, who condemned them to a 3-1 defeat.

That loss came on the back of four straight wins for the Reds, and manager Brendan Rodgers will be hopeful that his side can return to winning ways in Birmingham.

Lucas Leiva is likely to return to the starting lineup in place of the injured Joe Allen.

Sports Mole says: 1-3
