Aston Villa face a trip to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Villans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 52 and win only 14 of the 82 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2004, the Reds carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Premiership match.
