Aston Villa’s push for a top-four finish in the Premier League continues this weekend, as they aim to secure their second victory in three matches. Brentford will also feel the pressure as they strive for a crucial win to steer clear of relegation.
Premier League Preview
Aston Villa’s fate in the top four depends on Tottenham’s performance in their upcoming game. Despite being fourth, Villa has won 18 out of 31 matches this season. However, they are just two points ahead of Tottenham after their recent defeat to Man City.
Brentford is also looking to prove themselves this weekend as they fight for points near the bottom of the league. Currently sitting 15th, Brentford has only secured seven wins this season. However, they have a six-point advantage over the relegation zone, with recent positive results against Man United and Brighton.
