Aston Villa Surges Past Liverpool Amid Reds' Losing Streak
1 Nov
Summary
- Aston Villa on a 4-game winning streak, Liverpool on 4-game losing run

- Matty Cash scores winner against Manchester City, signs new 4-year deal
As of November 1st, 2025, Aston Villa is surging while Liverpool is in the midst of a concerning slump. Villa has won 4 consecutive Premier League matches and sits level on points with the defending champions. In contrast, Liverpool has lost 4 straight league games, their longest losing streak since February 2021.
The Reds' struggles have been highlighted by the sharp decline of star striker Mohamed Salah. After scoring 29 goals in 38 matches last season, Salah has found the net just 3 times in 9 appearances so far this campaign. The Egyptian international is also on pace for a significant drop in assists, from a career-best 18 last year to just 2 so far.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa has been led by the heroics of right-back Matty Cash. Last weekend, Cash scored a highlight-reel goal to deliver a 1-0 victory over Manchester City. The following day, he signed a new 4-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2029.
As Unai Emery celebrates his 3-year anniversary with Villa on Saturday, the manager remains focused on the big picture - trying to win titles. Unlike Liverpool, Villa has never won a Premier League championship. The visitors will be hoping to capitalize on the Reds' woes and secure a statement victory at Anfield.
