Aston Villa host Brentford in a Premier League game where both sides need points for different reasons. The hosts sit 16th with 4 points from 5 matches and still need to collect points to pull clear of the lower zone, while Brentford are 4th with 9 points and are trying to keep their good rhythm going. Aston Villa just won 3-1 in Europe and have won 3 in a row. Their attack is scoring regularly again, but their defence still concedes in almost every match. Brentford, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 5, drawing all of their last three league games before a 3-0 win last time out. Their defence is stingy and they control the tempo better. This game should be an open exchange in midfield. Aston Villa have the advantage of playing at home and are confident after their recent results, but Brentford have not come just to sit back. If the hosts control the early tempo and do not concede first, the game is likely to go the way of the hosts not losing. The first thing to watch is how well the hosts can settle their defence in the opening spell.
