A pair of teams on very different trajectories meet on Saturday when Liverpool and Aston Villa clash at Anfield.
Liverpool started the season off with five straight victories and it seemed as though Arne Slot's men could not lose despite putting in some underwhelming performances, saved by late-game heroics.
However, their luck caught up with them and they've lost their last four Premier League matches in a row.
Meanwhile, Villa's story is the exact opposite: Unai Emery's side got off to a woeful start, but they have turned things around and are now winners of four straight league matches.
With the clubs each at a crossroads, who comes out on top?

"They've done very well in the last five, six, seven or eight games and that didn't come as a surprise because even in the games they lost before, you could already see the signs they are a very good team and their playing style is really good. Normally, normally, normally – although with us the run is already quite long – you don't every time lose a game of football when you create more chances than the other team. They decided not to make a habit out of that – and let's hope we decide not to make a habit out of having more chances than the opponent but not winning it."

“I have massive respect for them. They can have some moments where they’re not getting good results, but the coach showed last year his capacity and experience.
“How they played last year was amazing as a team. Tactically, I think they’re impact was fantastic, and they won the Premier League.
“This year they have the same coach and better players, but they are adapting things and building the team. They will need time to get comfortable and strong with the players they have, but individually they have very good players."
The Reds are desperate for a victory but they come up against the most in-form side in the league (Arsenal aside), and nothing suggests that either team will end their current trajectory.
Prediction: Liverpool 1-2 Aston Villa
