Aston Villa enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 away win over Brentford last time out in the league. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Brentford's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Unai Emery will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 15 of their 17 games this season.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 15 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten at Villa Park in 15 league games.
Ollie Watkins will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Villa Park, having notched up 5 goals for Aston Villa in their last 6 league matches at home.

There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sheffield United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Chelsea. They came away from that fixture with a 22% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Chelsea, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
The last 6 games have been a mixed bag for them and the 4 points they have picked up belies their poor defending and unremarkable goal scoring of late, having only managed 3 goals whilst conceding 13 at the other end. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 16 of their 17 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
