Liverpool started the new season quite well, having gained 7 points in the first 3 rounds, although the team managed to play against Chelsea and Newcastle away. Liverpool are much stronger at home, but the removal of Van Dijk is a big loss for the team, which already has frequent problems in defence.
Aston Villa also shows a good game in the new season - the team got into the group stage of the UEFA Conference League without problems, and in the first 3 rounds of the Premier League gained 6 points, scoring 8 goals (only Brighton scored more).
Liverpool still have one of the strongest attacking lines in the Premier League, but the absence of Van Dijk increases Aston Villa's chances of scoring.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.47
