Aston Villa v Liverpool Betbuilder, Requestabet Predictions from FA Cup Clash at Anfield February 21, 2021
Aston Villa take on Liverpool in the FA Cup on Friday in a 7:45pm kick-off at Villa Park.
The Villains will field a combination of Under-18 and Under-23 players as their first-team has suffered from an outbreak of COVID-19.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are likely to rest several first choice players themselves, but will still probably call on their fringe players in their first-team squad.
As such, the Reds are heavily odds-on 1/9 favourites to win the match, with Villa’s youngsters causing a massive upset 16/1. The draw is 19/2, with extra-time and penalties if the sides can still not be separated following in that scenario.

Sadio Mane’s double helped Liverpool survive a major FA Cup scare against Aston Villa’s plucky kids.
The Reds eventually clinched a 4-1 third-round win after Louie Barry’s equaliser for coronavirus-hit Villa threatened to embarrass the visitors.
Mane struck an early opener, but Liverpool needed three quickfire second-half goals from Georginio Wijnaldum, Mane and Mo Salah to end the hosts’ hopes of a stunning upset.

It was a strange old evening for Liverpool in the FA Cup in a game which was ultimately played out before the first whistle ever sounded at Villa Park.
A game we could neither have won nor lost in many respects, Villa Park on Friday offered a live-action example of what an internal training match behind-closed-doors looks like. Which was all very apt really, given that it was a game that took place behind-closed-doors.
It was hard not to feel made up for the kids of Aston Villa in being handed the chance to represent their club and launch their senior careers on mass, in the FA Cup third round against a very strong Liverpool line-up.
