When Aston Villa visits Liverpool for a Premier League game on Monday (8 p.m. at Anfield), the pressure will be greater on the Birmingham side.

Liverpool has key injuries on defense. But Villa has disappointed in losing its last two games by shutout, may be missing its top offensive threat and has been dominated by Liverpool for a long time. Liverpool is 1-1-0 in the Premier. After a 2-1 loss at Tottenham Hotspur, the Reds slammed Stoke City, 4-0, in their home opener last Wednesday.

Villa has stumbled after a highly successful pre-season. A 1-0 Europa League loss last Thursday at Rapid Vienna followed a 2-0 loss at Villa Park to Wigan Athletic in the Premier opener. Striker John Carew and defender Curtis Davies may not be available against Liverpool. Carew, the Villans' leading goal-scorer the last two seasons, did not play against Wigan (infected toe) or Rapid Vienna (virus). Davies aggravated a shoulder that has been an ongoing problem against Rapid Vienna.

Lastly, Villa is battling history. Liverpool is 13-8-3 in the last 24 Premier League games between the teams (1997-98 through 2008-09). And the Reds are unbeaten in 15 games (9-6-0) since Villa’s last win 0-0-1 at Anfield on 8 September 2001.
