English Premier League, Round 31 2012/2013
Match date: 31 March 2013
Kick Off Time: 13:30 GMT Venue: Villa Park, England
Referee: Lee Mason
On Sunday, 31st March at 13:30 (GMT), Aston Villa will host Liverpool FC at Villa Park for Round 31 of the 2012/2013 English Premier League. The Reds look for a return to winning ways after the shock 3-1 defeat at Southampton.
Aston Villa approach Sunday's match with a chance to pen their third consecutive Premier League victory. Paul Lambert is expected to field a similar side to that which defeated Queens Park Rangers 3-2 two weeks ago. In that match, attacking trio Gabriel Agbonlahor, Andreas Weimann and Christian Benteke all found the scoresheet and will look for a similar result against Liverpool. A win on Sunday would mean a possible jump to 15th place for Villa.
The Reds broke a run of four consecutive victories when Southampton surprised them at St. Mary's Stadium last match, defeating Liverpool 3-1 at the full-time whistle. Brendan Rodgers has instilled confidence in his squad but they have consistently struggled against lesser ranked teams. Sunday's fixture with Aston Villa presents a chance to continue their climb toward a top five finish.
