Ben Roberts Photo/Getty Images Aston Villa legend Gabriel Agbonlahor has slammed Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher suggesting Villa are not rivals to the Reds. Besides that, Emery also led his team to finish above last season’s Premier League champions, Liverpool, who finished fifth in the league, five points behind Aston Villa.

Despite Aston Villa’s league finish, Carragher has insisted they are not rivals to Liverpool, something Agbonlahor does not agree with. The ex-Aston Villa hitman stated the Villans are rivals to the Reds after the glorious victory at Villa Park and finishing above them in the league.

“We are rivals Carragher.” In the first meeting between the clubs in the Premier League this season, Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 2-0 at Anfield with goals from Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch. It remains to be seen how true Agbonlahor’s claims turn out to be next season and how Liverpool and Aston Villa perform next campaign.
