Aston Villa vs Brentford
Aston Villa will be back in Premier League action very shortly.
The Villans are set to play host to newly-promoted Brentford in a 3 pm kick-off on Saturday.
Brentford head into the game on the back of a solid start to life in the Premier League.
The Bees would beat Arsenal 2-0 on the opening day of the season, before then drawing with Crystal Palace last time out.
Villa, meanwhile, fell to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Watford on the opening weekend, but bounced back with a win over Newcastle United last time out.

Captain Tyrone Mings misses today’s clash against Brentford due to injury.
