Brentford
  • Unai Emery remains without long-term absentees Boubacar Kamara, Emi Buendia and Tyrone Mings.

Prediction

  • Aston Villa's hopes of a top-four finish were dented by Manchester City in midweek, but Unai Emery's side remain in fourth spot for now after Tottenham's draw with West Ham.
  • Villa were victorious when these sides met at the Gtech Community Stadium back in December.
  • It's now eight league matches without a win for Brentford, after they played out a goalless draw with Brighton on Wednesday.
  • Thomas Frank's side are in danger of slipping into a full-blown relegation battle if they don't start picking up wins.
  • If Everton were to win their game in hand, Brentford would fall to 16th place, and six points clear of danger.
