The result left Liverpool eight points clear of second-placed Arsenal, while Villa remained ninth in the standings, emphasizing the competitiveness of the league.
Liverpool's title credentials were questioned after their nervy win over Wolves last time out, and their inability to finish their chances proved costly at Villa Park.
The Reds ended the contest with an expected goals (xG) total of 2.44 from their 17 shots to Villa's 0.73 from the nine efforts they attempted during the contest.
