Top bet Aston Villa, for example are at a staggering
9/2 despite having fallen only once on the sword, and
that was versus Manchester United, during their
current run of four wins, one draw, and that one
defeat at Old Trafford (Dec 6th), from the last seven
games.
They visit Liverpool possibly with no fears as regards
facing a team who have dropped points willy-nilly as
they struggled to get all the spoils from five games
out of the past ten matches. Even lost at home to
Villas' 9th place partners Southampton, in December,
so perhaps it is not beyond the realms of fantasy that
the bookies have made an error in the margins.
