With Arsenal showing signs of weakness and losing to Manchester United last weekend, Aston Villa are now only four points behind the league leaders in the title race.

As a result, there is major emphasis on the Villans to take advantage and record a home victory on Sunday, especially after losing at Villa Park to Everton earlier in the month.

The Bees remain only four points behind Chelsea in fifth - a position which could be good enough to qualify for UEFA's elite club competition.
