Aston Villa will look to stay in the Premier League title race when they travel to Brentford this weekend. This matchday 17 will be played at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday. The hosts are 11th ahead of this round with 19 points while the visitors are 3rd with 35 points. They are in the midst of a clogged mid-table where clubs from 11th to 15th are all separated by just three points. The Bees remain one of the entertaining sides as their 16 matches so far in the season have seen an aggregate of 45 goals. That said, four defeats from their last five league matches put them in a tight spot as their momentum seems to have been lost. Yet, they have won three of their last four home league matches which puts them in a good position to overturn those recent reverses.

Villa are only two points behind leaders Liverpool, while staying only two points ahead of fourth-placed Manchester City. They have been the surprise package of the season and have won four of their last five league games, drawing the other. Going further back, they have nine wins of their last 12 league matches, drawing two and losing once. The visitors have one of the best scoring records in the division with 35 goals scored and that could continue here. Despite such success, Villa haven’t been dominating on their travels this season. They have won and drawn twice over their last five away league games, losing to Nottingham Forest during the sequence.
