Keith Andrews' start to life as a Premier League manager was far from ideal, with his side losing 3-1 away to Nottingham Forest in Brentford's league opener. However, one positive takeaway from the defeat could be that striker, Igor Thiago, opened his goalscoring account for the club after spending a year side lined with an injury.

Andrew's side have had a harrowing summer, losing their top scorer, Bryan Mbeumo, to Manchester United, along with club captain, Christian Norgaard, to Arsenal. They go into this fixture without Vitaly Janlet and Gustavo Nunes who are sidelined until mid-September along with Yoane Wissa being a doubt as the Bees look set to lose another attacking talent. There are also doubts about Kelleher and Schade's participation in the game.

Aston Villa edge the record in this fixture, winning four out of eight Premier League encounters with The Bees, most recently a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Ollie Watkins in March this year. Unai Emery's side were held to a 0-0 draw against Newcastle in their league opener, with Emery only making one substitution in the game despite a red card, perhaps suggesting that Villa need to remain active in what time remains of the transfer window.

Villa will be without Ezri Konsa following his red card suspension with Ross Barkley also unavailable. However, Villa will have their star striker, Ollie Watkins, who is fit to lead the line against his former club as they look for a repeat of last season's fixture at the Gtech.
