LIVE – Aston Villa 3-1 Brentford: Villans hold on for first win in eight games

Aston Villa’s recent slump may have been overshadowed by the sorry form of Manchester City but Unai Emery’s side are in dire need of a win when they host Brentford tonight.

Villa’s last victory in the Premier League came back on October 19 and they have slipped to 12th in the table as a result.

Brentford have proved time and again they are no pushovers and they will be tricky opposition for the West Midlanders.

The Bees come in on the back of a 4-1 win over Leicester on Saturday.
