Friday FA Cup 3rd Round: Miller picks Aston Villa vs Liverpool in a lopsided match where Aston Villa is +1700

With revenge on its mind, Liverpool gets weakened Aston Villa side in F.A. Cup third round

Last December, ahead of the Club World Cup, Liverpool put out a side of kids against Aston VIlla in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals and got thumped 5-0. The Villains also have a 7-2 win over the Reds earlier this season in the Premier League.

So Friday, with COVID-19 ravaging the Villa camp and the team forced to play the U23s, this could be a chance for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool to return the favor. Klopp can play his reserves and backups and probably win this easily, so it will be interesting to see what lineup he sends out there.

The lines are very high, but there is some value here.
