Brentford, Recent FormThe Brentford squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Sheffield United, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. During that encounter they had 60% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 9 shots on goal.
Thomas Frank will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Brentford, Ivan Toney will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Aston Villa, Recent FormAston Villa will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Arsenal. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Arsenal's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Unai Emery will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Ollie Watkins will be looking to cause Brentford some problems having scored 3 goals in Aston Villa's last 6 away games in the league.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
When playing away from home in the league, The Villans have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against Brentford.
