Team News

Brentford
Aston Villa
  • Brentford have a lengthy injury list to contend with, with no fewer than six players missing due to various knocks.
  • Josh Dasilva and Mathias Jensen may both recover in time for Sunday's welcome of Aston Villa.
  • Ivan Toney still has another month to serve on his ban.
  • Lucas Digne and Douglas Luiz are both suspended, so Unai Emery will be forced into at least two changes from the XI that started the win over Arsenal last weekend.
  • Alex Moreno and Moussa Diaby may start here, with Youri Tielemans dropping in alongside Boubacar Kamara.
  • Emiliano Buendia, Tyrone Mings and Bertrand Traore all remain sidelined due to injury, while Tielemans and Leon Bailey will be assessed.

Prediction

  • Brentford's raft of absences seem to be impacting their form with the Bees falling to a fourth defeat in five last time out. The Gtech Community Stadium still remains a bit of a fortress for the west London side, with Brentford losing just twice at home in the Premier League this season.
  • Aston Villa head into Sunday's game in the capital unbeaten in five, winning four, which includes victories over Manchester City and Arsenal. Villa's form on the road is still questionable having won just one of their last four away matches, but they'll fancy their chances of securing three points here.
  • Brentford are unbeaten in their two home Premier League meetings with Villa but the Villans should have enough to down a depleted Bees side.
