Villa have generally impressed in their three games so far this season. Drawing with Ipswich and beating Hull in their two away games and coming out on top in a five-goal thriller against Wigan in their sole home game.

Scoring doesn’t look like it will be a problem for Villa, but Steve Bruce will be keen to see an improvement in defence as an average of 1.33 goals against per game simply won’t cut it. Kenan Davis and Scott Hogan are Villa’s only injury concerns.

BRENTFORD LATEST NEWS
Brentford have also started the season in good style, scoring eight and conceding just twice in their three Championship games to date. Brentford play some of the most attractive football in this division when at their best, which should make for an entertaining encounter.

Having picked up a draw against one of the favourites for promotion – Stoke City – in their only away outing so far, the Bees face another tough test here. Rico Henry and Emiliano Marconedes miss out through injury for this one.

H2H – LATEST STATS
It has been advantage Brentford in the clashes between these sides since Villa’s return to the Championship in 2016. The Bee’s having won two and drawn two of the four fixtures.

Those two draws have come in the two games here at Villa Park. The sides drawing 1-1 in 16/17 and playing out a 0-0 stalemate last term.

Villa proved a tough nut to crack in front of their own fans last season, losing just two of their 23 home games.

The early evidence would suggest goals may be on the cards here, with both teams scoring in five of the six games these two sides have played in the Championship this season.

MATCHUP TO WATCH
Villa haven’t looked great at the back so far, and the key match up here looks to be Mile Jedinak vs Neal Maupay. Jedinak looks set to continue in an unaccustomed centre back role, but he may well have his work cut out against Maupay who has notched three in three already this season.
