02h00 20/02/2025 Aston Villa – Liverpool, Aston Villa 1 +50, O/U 3=
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has backed Marcus Rashford to turn his career around at Aston Villa and said he was “really impressed” by the forward when he faced him for the first time.
Liverpool could move 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a victory over Villa, though second-place Arsenal will have a game in hand. It is a continuation of a tough run for Slot’s side, who also travel to Manchester City at the weekend before hosting Newcastle United at Anfield later this month.
“Both will be unavailable for tomorrow,” Slot said. “Cody is close to being back and Joe will take quite a long time. He will be out for a number of weeks. It is [a big blow] for him and for us.”
