Who will win Brentford vs. Aston Villa?

Aston Villa were unable to trouble the scorers in last Saturday's draw with Newcastle, but they will surely fancy their chances of troubling a Brentford side that will still be reeling from their opening day defeat against Forest. 

Andrews was made aware of the size of his challenge as he saw his side ship three goals in a disastrous first period at the City Ground.

The Bees looked a little lost after losing Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard, Mark Flekken and head coach Thomas Frank during the summer, while they were also without the services of Yoane Wissa, who is unlikely to feature this weekend as he continues to push for a move to Newcastle United.

With Brentford going through a difficult period, Aston Villa will believe that they have the quality required on their side to claim their first win of the new season.
