Aston Villa faced off against Burnley for the first time this season, and the Villans walked away the winners. Aston Villa came out on top against Burnley by a score of 3-1 last Sunday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for Villans.

Aston Villa have won four straight games across all competitions, scoring 15 goals during that span. The Villans have recorded a clean sheet in three of their last four and they'll look to stay disciplined defensively against a Liverpool side that can score in bunches.

Meanwhile, Liverpool gave up the first goal last Sunday, but the Reds didn't let that get them down. Jurgen Klopp's side skirted past Newcastle United, 2-1, despite playing with 10 men for the majority of the match. Defender Virgil van Dijk received a red card in the 28th minute and he'll miss Sunday's showdown against Aston Villa. 

Darwin Nunez scored a brace in Liverpool's win over Newcastle, which included the game-winning goal in stoppage time. Nunez is part of a dangerous attack that also features Mohamed Salah, who's scored 19 or more goals in each of his last six seasons in the Premier League.
