Brentford, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Brentford players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Wolverhampton Wanderers who had 11 attempts and 9 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at The Gtech Community Stadium and recording 3 wins in that same period.
On an individual basis, Ivan Toney will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 18 goals in Brentford's 31 league games this season.
Aston Villa, Recent FormWhen Aston Villa last played in the league they faced Newcastle United and produced an outstanding 3-0 home win. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Newcastle United, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Unai Emery will be delighted with his team's performances recently, with them having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games whilst conceding only 2. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 18 games. They are proving to be a hard team to beat, having kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 8 games.
On an individual basis, Ollie Watkins will be looking to celebrate a goal with the travelling fans again and continue his hot scoring streak having scored in each of Aston Villa's last 0 league games away from home.
Brentford will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Aston Villa, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
The Villans have some indifferent league form when it comes to away matches against Brentford; they have shipped at least 1 goal in their last 4 games away to them.
Aston Villa has a very poor track record against Brentford when playing away from home in the league, losing the last 4 times they have met at The Gtech Community Stadium.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kristoffer Ajer (Calf), Pontus Jansson (Hamstring) and Keane Lewis-Potter (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Unai Emery has a number of injury concerns in his Aston Villa squad to contend with: Leon Bailey (Hamstring), Matty Cash (Calf), Philippe Coutinho (Hamstring), Boubacar Kamara (Ankle) and Jed Steer (Achilles tendon)
