Aston Villa, Recent FormWith Steven Gerrard sacked, building confidence in his squad will be a priority for the new Villa caretaker manager Aaron Danks after they sustained a heavy 3-0 away loss to Fulham. During that encounter they recorded 39% of the possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 8 of their 18 shots on goal.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. Danks will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Brentford, Recent FormA point gained from their 0-0 draw against Chelsea in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Brentford. Their share of possession in that meeting was 34%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Chelsea, who had 14 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Thomas Frank will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Goalscorer Ivan Toney will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 6 goals in his last 6 league matches for Brentford.
It was not a positive ending for Aston Villa last time they met Brentford in the league, with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat.
Goals should be on the cards for The Bees in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Aston Villa in their last 5 meetings together.
The last 4 times this league fixture has been played at Villa Park it has ended in a draw.
The caretaker manager at Villa has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ludwig Augustinsson (Hamstring), Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon), Lucas Digne (Ankle) and Boubacar Kamara (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
