Liverpool will attempt to remain focused on the task at hand when it visits Aston Villa for an English Premier League contest on Tuesday. The Reds have the opportunity to win the FA Cup for the eighth time in club history when they face Chelsea in the final on Saturday.

Why you should back Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has been an offensive force for the Reds this season as he leads the Premier League in both goals (22) and assists (13). The 29-year-old Egyptian forward is one goal away from registering his highest total since he scored a career-high 32 in 2017-18, his first season with the club. Salah has scored in just one of his last seven league matches but provided the lone goal in Liverpool's win against Aston Villa earlier this season.

The Reds possess three of the top five goal scorers in the EPL as Diogo Jota ranks fourth with 15 and Sadio Mane is right behind him with 14. A 30-year-old forward from Senegal, Mane has scored in six of his last 10 contests across all competitions. Liverpool also has three of the league's top four players in assists, with Trent Alexander-Arnold one behind Salah for the lead and fellow defender Andrew Robertson tied for third with 10.

Why you should back Aston Villa

The Lions have been heating up offensively as they have amassed five goals over their last two matches. In their previous five games, the team was shut out three times and registered just a pair of goals. Forwards Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings have combined to produce four of the goals as both have scored in back-to-back contests.

The 26-year-old Watkins leads the club with 10 league goals and has accounted for three of its last six tallies. Ings ranks second on the Lions with seven goals and is tied with Emi Buendia for the team lead in assists with six. Buendia, a 25-year-old Argentinian winger, has notched an assist in each of his last two contests and also scored a goal in the Lions' 3-1 victory against Burnley on Saturday.
