Aston Villa Preview – Can Aston Villa avoid fifth defeat on trot?

Four defeats on the trot in the Premier League prior to the lockdown resulted in Aston Villa occupying a place in the bottom three of the English top flight, so Wednesday’s hosts will no doubt be keen to put an end to this losing streak and lift themselves out of the relegation zone.

Losses to Bournemouth, Tottenham, Southampton and Leicester City were damaging enough but for Villa to also concede a total of 11 goals and score just 3 in reply would also have been a concern for manager, Dean Smith, as he looks to rally his troops when the Premier League season resumes on Wednesday.

Results at Villa Park have been inconsistent for the hosts as they’ve posted a record of 5-2-6 18/24 to date which includes wins against Norwich City and Watford in recent times, but also defeats to Southampton, Manchester City and Tottenham.

It’s perhaps telling that Villa’s recent wins were against teams sitting in the bottom four of the Premier League too.

Our betting suggestion:
Both teams to score

Sheffield Utd Preview – Can Sheffield Utd pick up where they left off?

Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United side will be itching to return to action this Wednesday evening even though they hit the road down to the west midlands where they’ll face a struggling Aston Villa outfit, with The Blades looking to continue the promising form that they showed prior to the lockdown.

Sheffield United had won six of their previous seven matches in all competitions before the English season was brought to a temporary halt, having registered Premier League wins over Crystal Palace (away), Bournemouth (home) and Norwich City (home), along with FA Cup wins against Championship sides, Millwall and Reading respectively.

A very solid top flight campaign for The Blades has resulted in Sheffield United sitting in a creditable 7th place and are just two points behind 5th placed Manchester United as without doubt, Sheffield United have produced the best campaign of the three promoted teams from last season’s Championship.

An away record of 4-7-2 13/12 also proves the visitors’ stubbornness on the road, with their only two defeats being at the top two clubs, Liverpool and Manchester City, but have picked up notable wins at Everton and Crystal Palace along the way.
