Northing beats a good homecoming

Origi to the rescue

The Reds won 2-1 against AC Milan at the San Siro midweek despite doing 1-0 down through Fikayo Tomori. But in typical Liverpool fashion, they fought back with an equaliser from Mo Salah. Then who else but Divock Origi? His goal early on in the second half saw home an impressive win for Jürgen Klopp's men. This has seen them become just the ninth club to win every Champions League group stage, alongside Ajax as the newcomers to this surprisingly short list. A maximum 18 points taken meant that, despite this group looking very challenging on paper, on the pitch it was a much different story. Liverpool's six game run of wins has a good chance of continuing at Anfield on Saturday. Their recent dominant form has echoed that of their title-winning efforts. The main man Origi was once again on hand to save the day, with his last gasp goal away at Wolves last week ensured this winning run continue. Despite Diogo Jota's hilarious miss on his return to Molineux, the Reds got the three points and their run was able to continue thanks to more last minute heroics for someone who has to be one of the most clutch players in history.

Gerrard's return to dominate the headlines

The newly appointed Aston Villa manager will certainly be the main talking point come Saturday. His career as a Liverpool player will be once again analysed in the build-up to this fixture, with the local legend looking to get one over on his former club in their own backyard. He's really rolling as a Premier League manager now too, coming off the back of a 2-1 win against Leicester as well as an impressive overall start to life at Villa Park. Undoubtedly, this is his biggest test as Villa boss. Going away at Anfield, with all of the added pressures of the countless achievements he had with Saturday's opponents, this looks set to be a tasty affair. The reverse fixture last season saw Villa beat Klopp's side 7-2 in one of the biggest shock scorelines in history. This will certainly play on the mind of the hosts and is something that Klopp will certainly continue to get revenge over. Despite Villa's underwhelming season so far, they find themselves back up into 10th place and are in some fine form under their new boss.

Aston Villa's impressive upturn in form is unlikely to continue at Anfield on Saturday. But Stevie G will certainly be determined to put up a worth fight against his former club. That's why I'm going with Both Teams to Score with bet365.
