Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Digne, Konsa, Torres, Diego Carlos, Bailey, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Rogers, Tielemans, Watkins.
Brentford XI: Flekken, Collins, Ajer, Zanka, Roerslev, Jensen, Damsgaard, Jane;lt, Reguilon, Mbeumo, Wissa.
Aston Villa remain well positioned in their bid to qualify for the Champions League, for which a top-five finish will probably be sufficient.
Unai Emery will hope to have Ollie Watkins, Emi Martinez and Jacob Ramsey back from injury, while John McGinn is definitely available following suspension. Villa will need a very different game plan against Brentford, who will have much less of the ball than Man City did last time out.
The Bees drew 0-0 with Brighton in the midweek round of matches, leaving them just six points above the relegation zone. Only Luton Town have collected fewer points over the last eight games, with the Bees duly lacking confidence.
Thomas Frank will hope Ivan Toney and Yoane Wissa can exploit Aston Villa's high defensive line. Yet Emery's men begin the game as strong favorites.

Can you watch Aston Villa vs Brentford in the U.K.?
