Head-to-head
Aston Villa have only beaten Liverpool once in the last 17 league meetings at Villa Park (D5, L11). That was a 1-0 win in May 2011.
Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven league trips to Villa.
The Reds have won 25 Premier League games versus Villa, more than against any other club.
Aston Villa
Villa have lost only one of their last five league fixtures (W2, D2), keeping clean sheets in three of them.
They have claimed eight points during this period, as many as they earned in their opening 20 league games.
Last weekend's win over Norwich was only Villa's 19th victory in their last 82 league games at Villa Park since December 2011.
Villa have scored 20 goals, including just six in the first-half of matches - the lowest tallies in the division.
Remi Garde's side have taken just four points (D4, L8) from 12 games against the current top 10. Only Sunderland, with two points, have fared worse.
Liverpool
Liverpool have won only one of their last six league games (D2, L3).
They have conceded 14 goals during this period and failed to score in half of those matches.
The Reds are yet to lose a league game in which they have led, whereas Aston Villa are yet to win from a losing position.
Liverpool have conceded a joint-league-high eight goals from corners - two more than they conceded in the whole of 2014-15.
Roberto Firmino has scored five goals in his last five league matches, having scored just once in his previous 17 appearances.
Christian Benteke scored 49 goals in 101 appearances for Aston Villa.

Sterling is better than Ibe. However, any follower of football knows that there is no guarantee that the case will be the same in say 3 or 5 or 7 years. They both have tools to be great players. Players don't mature at the same rate. Sterling could improve and leave Ibe in his wake or Ibe could harness his potential better and overtake him.
Come to think of it, this discussion is kinda moot.

Already stated its not a fair comparison but obv sterling was righteous1s 1st love or something

I just don't get the stick he gets.
Not many other 21 year olds as good as him around yet people act like he is rubbish. Just jealousy I guess.
Ibe has done absolutely nothing in his career to warrant comparison.

Ibe is ours and Sterling did the dirty on us that is the reason.
Sterling's stats are very good but he's not been impressive for city and I've watched them a fair bit
He will/should be a great player for city and England
He's always played with a much higher calibre of player than ibe so at this point any comparison is pointless
As raw potential goes i stick to my guess that ibe will be better
Who knows?

I don't get the 'he's played with better players' argument.
There's a reason he has played with better players.
He was good enough to get picked.

Disagree, he played with suarez, gerrard and a fit sturridge for a start. Then he gets to play with aguero silva and kdb. Put him in our struggling team with allen Milner hendo and can and he would do nothing of note as we saw with his poor form before he left us.
Great players make space and chances, they also take their chances more so the stats argument is flawed when comparing

He scored double figures last season.
Will Ibe?

I think Ibe has the edge physically and he's more of a handful dribbling, but he's a disaster in the final 3rd
plenty of time for him to develop and we most certainly should keep him, but he's a country mile behind Sterling because of the final 3rd issue
