Mysterious cat predicts Aston Villa vs Liverpool
Nimbus Pronos, the feline oracle, has shared its prediction for the Aston Villa vs Liverpool clash at Villa Park on Friday, May 15, 2026, at 8 pm.
The cat favours a win for Liverpool, a result the rest of the teams chasing Champions League football next season will want to happen at Villa Park.
The sixth-placed team in England will get Champions League football if Aston Villa wins the Europa League and finish fifth, making Liverpool win the desired result.
Slot and Emery speak about Elliott
Another thing which ties Liverpool and Aston Villa together ahead of Friday's match is the treatment of English youngster Harvey Elliott.
Elliott joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan with a mandatory clause to make it permanent for £35 million if he makes 10 league appearances for Villa.
Villa decided that they will not trigger the clause weeks into the loan and have limited his league appearances to four games throughout the season.
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has spoken about the situation multiple times, and ahead of the game, he publicly apologised to the player, describing the situation as embarrassing for everyone.

“It is something embarrassing for everyone involved in it. My apologies for Harvey Elliott are every day in my mind,” Emery said as quoted by ESPN.
“But it is the responsibility. We have our responsibility, and Liverpool have their responsibility. As a human and as a person, how the season has gone has been difficult.”
Liverpool boss Arne Slot confirmed that the player has been in contact and will return to the club so as to be part of pre-season after the poor experience.
