Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa move up table?
A 2-0 win away at Brighton saw Aston Villa put an end to a previous three-match sequence without a win in the Premier League which included back-to-back defeats against Newcastle United and Watford but the west midlands club now have the chance to record back-to-back wins when Southampton visit on Saturday afternoon.
Results in recent weeks have produced a mixed bag for Villa as they picked up an earlier win against Everton but have also fallen to four defeats within their last eight matches overall; goals for both teams looks likely though as eight of Villa’s 12 home games have seen both teams score.
Southampton Preview – Can Saints continue revival?
Having lost just one of their last 10 matches overall, Southampton will be in confident mood when they prepare for their trip to the west midlands to take on Aston Villa as the south coast club search for a third league win on the trot.
Recent victories over Everton and Norwich City, both at home, have helped lift Saints up into the top half and 9th spot while results away from home have also improved of late; the visitors have lost just one of their last five away games and both teams have scored in nine of Southampton’s 13 away games to date.
