Easter Sunday



Saturday again proved to be relatively successful with five out of eight selections landing and if Norwich didn't concede late it could have been even better.  We have only one fixture to look at on Sunday.  And after yesterdays victories both of the teams need a win to keep pace at differing ends of the table

Aston Villa V Liverpool

Both of these teams have had their struggles at times this season and both would have sections of their fan base who would of expected better.  When Randy Lerner brought in Paul Lambert most Villa fans had high optimism but if they looked at the financial backing given to their manager they could of predicted the troubles ahead.  Villa have struggled most of the season firstly with scoring goals and then conceding goals.  Liverpool brought in Brendan Rodgers and a clear ethos of how the team will play and move forward.  He received financial backing maybe not as much as previous managers.  There has been positive signs but annoying mistakes and slip ups after good results.  Looking at this match the most consistent part of these two teams is goals.  Both have very differing performance levels and many will remember Benteke bullying the Liverpool defence at Anfield this year.  I'm siding with goals in this match and possibly a score draw if I had to choose a result.
