Plummeting squad Liverpool (2-2-2, 8 points) will try to regain its form in the 2015-2016 Premier League season as it faces Aston Villa (1-4-1, 4 points) at Anfield on Saturday, September 26.
Brendan Rodgers' crew started the season with two straight wins over Stoke City and Bournemouth but had been winless for four games ever since.
Their last game was a 1-1 tie at home with lowly squad Norwich City last Sunday. Substitute forward Danny Ings scored a goal three minutes after halftime to give the Reds a 1-0 lead.
However, Canaries team captain Russell Martin salvaged the draw with a right-footed shot at the center of the box, as per Bleacher Report, disappointing the home crowd.
The Villans are also struggling to find their groove in the new season as they are currently winless in five straight matches after an opening day win over Bournemouth on August 8.
Villa's last match was a 0-1 midlands derby loss to middling team West Brom at their home turf of Villa Park last Saturday. The Baggies' rebellious forward Saido Berahino provided the lone goal of the match, via NBC Sports.
Tim Sherwood's men would go for a win against a free-falling Liverpool XI although Rodgers would like to get back on track as calls for his sacking is slowly getting louder at Anfield.
The predicted result is a 1-0 win for Liverpool.
Liverpool starting lineup (3-4-1-2 formation): Mignolet; Can, Skrtel, Sakho; Clyne, Moreno, Milner, Leiva; Coutinho; Sturridge, Benteke
