Barclays Premier League: Liverpool v Aston Villa, Sunday
Martin O'Neill is confident his incredible managerial record at Anfield can continue tomorrow as he aims to end Rafa Benitez's title hopes.
Aston Villa boss O'Neill has only lost once in seven games at Liverpool as a manager with Leicester, Celtic and Villa.
He is desperate to win tomorrow to rekindle fifth-placed Villa's fading Champions League hopes.
And there is no love lost between O'Neill and Benitez after the pair fell out spectacularly over the Reds boss's attempts to sign Villa star Gareth Barry last summer.

Now O'Neill wants to puncture the euphoria at Anfield following big wins over Real Madrid and Manchester United. "I'm not upset any more with Benitez - it is over," said O'Neill.
"Good luck to him, they have had two great results. But they must accept the fact that having dropped some points recently that for them to catch United they must win nearly all their games.
"They will probably think beating us is a must but we are capable of winning the game and won't be fearful.
"It should inspire you going to Anfield - especially considering as a manager I seldom lose up there."
