Before Matchday 24 of the Premier League takes place, Unai Emery's Aston Villa have a serious chance of challenging Arsenal and Manchester City for the title. It's a three-way race, and February looks ideal for the Lions, as they won't face a team in the Premier League's top 10 until March. Before then, the Villans finish January against Brentford, who defeated them in London on Matchday 2 of the league and eliminated them from the EFL Cup on penalties.
However, Emery's team not only beat Brentford the last time they hosted them at Villa Park, but they also came back from 2-0 down against Austrian side Salzburg on Thursday in the Europa League. Prior to that, they secured a commendable victory at the difficult St. James' Park against Newcastle United. Buendía and Watkins scored the goals for the Birmingham side that day.
Playing at home, only Manchester City and Arsenal have fared better. Aston Villa's management is aiming for its first Premier League title in history, and proof of this is the return of Douglas Luiz and Tammy Abraham to the team.

Our Aston Villa vs Brentford Prediction
Brentford had been on a winning streak between December and January, going six games unbeaten, but that ended when they faced Chelsea. Eight days later, they lost 0-2 at home to Nottingham Forest as favorites.
In the Premier League this season, only four teams have a worse record than Brentford. On Sunday, Aston Villa's attack will consist of Rogers, Buendia and Abraham, while Emery has to deal with the absences of Watkins, Kamara and Tielemans.
Our prediciton for Aston Villa vs Brentford is: Aston Villa to win.
