Brentford will host Aston Villa at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday as they aim to continue their recent run of form. The Bees have avoided defeat in four of their last five Premier League outings and will be desperate to secure another strong result against Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, the visitors have struggled with inconsistency in recent weeks, causing them to slip to tenth place in the league standings. With hopes of securing a European spot for this season, Aston Villa cannot afford to keep dropping points and will be desperate to respond with a convincing performance. Unai Emery's side will back themselves to come out on top against Brentford.
Brentford Aim to Continue Their Unbeaten Streak

Meanwhile, Nathan Collins will partner with Ben Mee at the center of the defense.
In midfield, Vitaly Janelt will join forces with Yehor Yarmoliuk and Mikkel Damsgaard.
