Aston Villa haven’t beaten Liverpool at Villa Park since October 2020 in all competitions.

It’s the headline fixture of gameweek 37 in the 2025-26 Premier League season, as Aston Villa take on Liverpool in the West Midlands.

Unai Emery‘s Villans are enduring a mixed run of form at the moment, with a draw, win and a defeat in their last three games in all competitions, and do only have the one victory from their last five.

However, the same can be said for Arne Slot’s Liverpool, as the Reds also have a draw, win and a loss in their last three games too, but are winless from their last two.

Fourth and fifth clash at Villa Park on Friday night, with both teams knowing that a win for either side will guarantee them a place in next season’s Champions League.

What is Liverpool’s recent record at Villa Park?

A classic Premier League fixture awaits on Friday night, with the atmosphere inside Villa Park sure to be electric come the scheduled 8pm kick-off time.

Aston Villa’s B6 home has routinely been one of the toughest venues for opposing sides to come and get a result in recent seasons, with Villa taking 35 of their 59 points on home soil this term.

2024-25 saw Emery’s men only lose once at home, whilst 2023-24 witnessed only three Villa home defeats as well, and so Liverpool will be fully aware as to the size of the test in store for them.

However, they will also be filled with confidence too, as the Anfield outfit have made Villa Park a very happy hunting ground down the years.

Indeed, the Reds are currently on a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions in B6, with three wins and two draws over that time period which dates back to January 2021.

Villa’s last win over them in their own backyard came in October 2020, and that was in their unforgettable 7-2 demolition job.

When it comes to Premier League meetings only, that aforementioned 7-2 win is the Villans’ only home victory between December 2011 to the present day, a time period that spans 11 games and consists of eight Liverpool triumphs.

What is Liverpool’s away record like this season?

Liverpool haven’t been the force many expected them to be in 2025-26, having lifted the Premier League trophy last season.

However, they are also a team to never be taken lightly nor underestimated, and Aston Villa certainly won’t be doing either of those on Friday evening.

The Reds are always strong at Anfield, but how have they fared on their travels this year? Well, they’ve struggled to say the least.

Liverpool have won seven, drawn three and lost eight from their 18 away games in the Premier League this season, taking just 24 points from their travels and have a goal difference of minus two.

So, it would appear that if there was ever a time that Aston Villa would be able to reverse their poor historic home form against Liverpool, it would be now.
