Get ready for an exciting match at Villa Park between Aston Villa and Brentford! As the struggle takes place on the pitch, excitement is strong since both teams are desperate for points.

Aston Villa:

Aston Villa is now looking to increase their two-point advantage over Tottenham, who have one game left in hand, after they faltered in their chase for a Champions League spot, losing 4-1 away to Manchester City in the middle of the week. Unai Emery's team has only triumphed in three of their last seven Premier League home games after a 15-game winning streak at Villa Park was ended in December. However, their most recent 2-0 victory against Wolves stopped a run of six games without a clean sheet. Having lost their first eight league games, Villa has triumphed in two of their past three encounters with Brentford, including a thrilling comeback in the rematch in December.

Brentford:

Brentford's 0-0 home draw against Brighton on Wednesday leaves them six points above the relegation zone, meaning they are still in danger of going down. Their unsettling winless run now stands at eight games, and Thomas Frank's team has dropped nine of their previous ten Premier League road games. The Bees have never won a league game at Villa Park, drew five and losing three of their previous outings. History is not on their side today either.
