Why is the best that we can hope for a draw?Reminder that they lost three home games in a row last season, six in total and four without scoring a goal, including losses to Burnley and Brighton, and Fulham who got relegated.Of course we can beat them.I'm not saying we definitely will, but it's doable. 2-1 Villa, FTF!

Only blunted by Brighton lately.

Right now, I'd snap your hand off for a point and keeping our momentum.
They're in very good form, but so are we. After seeing the second half of the Man City game I'm sure they will NOT be looking forward to playing us, so it's absolutely crucial that we don't give them an easy time in the first 20-25 mins.The good news is, given Gerrard's time on Klopp's coaching staff, that we will never have a manager better prepared to take them on tactically. It will be interesting to see if he tweaks our set-up, or whether it's more of a "this is how my Aston Villa teams play" situation.Right now, I'd snap your hand off for a point and keeping our momentum.
