Note that in the last three Premier League fixtures the home side conceded only one goal. The home side continues to hold third place in the standings, having the same number of points as Manchester City (46). Meanwhile the gap to leader Arsenal has been reduced to four points.

Midfielders Youri Tielemans, John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara and Ross Barkley, and defender Andres Garcia are out due to injuries. Also note the loan of midfielder Douglas Luiz to Juventus. Earlier the forward Tammy Abraham was sold to Besiktas.
Brentford
Brentford have slowed slightly after two consecutive slips in the league. The visitors lost 0:2 to Chelsea and 0:2 to Nottingham Forest. Thus ambitions to reach the Champions League can be put on hold for a while, but chances to finish in the top four remain high, as the club is only 5 points off fourth place. Also note that in two consecutive matches the visitors failed to score a second goal in the current Premier League campaign. And the team's matches rank among the top five for goal scoring – an average of 2.9 goals.
- The club has not lost in 6 of its previous 8 Premier League matches (4 wins and 2 draws).
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 6 of Brentford’s last 8 away Premier League matches.

Midfielder Joshua Dasilva will miss the match due to injury. Midfielders Fabio Carvalho and Antony Milano are out for the season. The participation of midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard and defender Kristoffer Ajer is in doubt (injuries).

Aston Villa vs Brentford: Match Prediction
We recall that in their last home league match the home side suffered a narrow 0:1 defeat to Everton. Prior to that the team had an eight-match winning run at home in the Premier League. Therefore Aston Villa owe their supporters a response and will try to make amends for the unexpected loss, which, by the way, cost them the chance to reduce the gap to Arsenal to a minimum.
Moreover, the home side have won 2 of the last 3 head-to-head meetings held at Villa Park in the league (1 draw). In those clashes Aston Villa scored as many as 10 goals. Brentford do not have consistent results away from home. In their last 11 Premier League away matches the visitors suffered 8 defeats (3 wins). Moreover, the club conceded at least two goals in 6 of its last 7 away Premier League matches. With such a defense it will be difficult for the visitors to avoid defeat.
