Aston Villa host unbeaten Brentford at Villa Park
Aston Villa look to build momentum after an uneven start against an unbeaten Brentford side sitting fourth after five games.
Aston Villa sit 16th on four points after five games following a slow start and a major summer overhaul under Unai Emery. However, they entered the break with momentum after securing a dramatic 3-2 victory away at Tottenham, providing a much-needed lift after consecutive league defeats.
Brentford have made a strong start to the campaign, sitting fourth on nine points after five matches under Keith Andrews. The Bees are unbeaten in their opening five league fixtures, sweeping Chelsea aside 3-0 in their last outing and remaining undefeated across all seven competitive matches this term.
