Aston Villa Premier League guide: The latest fixtures, results, team news and Aston Villa odds

2 years ago
| BY News Team

A tough week for Aston Villa culminated in the end of the Steven Gerrard era, as he was ousted hours after the 3-0 defeat at Fulham on Thursday night. It’s not been the start to the season that Villa fans were hoping for, and they will hope that whoever takes the reigns next can get an undoubtedly-talented squad firing and moving quickly up the Premier League.

Villa head into this weekend with just two wins from their opening 11 games, and sit just outside the bottom three by virtue of having scored more goals than Wolves.

We’ve taken a look at all you need to know about Aston Villa – from their next league game, to the latest football betting odds.

When is the next Aston Villa Premier League fixture?

Aston Villa are back at Villa Park on Sunday, hosting Brentford in a 14:00 kick-off. Villa have never lost a league home game against the Bees, although the last four meetings on this ground have been drawn.

Last August, these two sides played out a 1-1 draw in which Emiliano Buendia cancelled out Ivan Toney’s early strike. After winning just two of their last eight Premier League home games, Villa will hope to get another three points on the board in this one.

What are the odds that Aston Villa win their next game?

Villa are 11/10 to beat Brentford on Sunday, although a fifth-successive league draw between the two at Villa Park is 12/5. Brentford have alternated between drawing and winning each of their last eight league matches with Villa this century, and won the match last time out in January.

The Bees are yet to win on the road this season in the league, and have struggled to keep teams off the scoresheet away from home with 11 goals conceded in five road games. Three or more goals in the match is 4/5, while Villa to win the game with both teams finding the net is 16/5.

Villa are searching for some inspiration as they attempt to climb the Premier League table – and they’re not short of attacking talent to provide it. We have 9/1 on the Brazilian Philippe Coutinho to score from outside the penalty area against Brentford, while Danny Ings is 12/1 to score with his head in the game.

What is the latest Aston Villa injury and transfer news?

Tyrone Mings is a doubt for this weekend with an ankle injury, although it isn’t thought to be serious. Douglas Luiz will definitely miss the game following his red card against Fulham on Thursday. Ludwig Augustinsson and Lucas Digne are both likely to need another week to recover from their respective hamstring and heel problems, and Boubacar Kamara has been ruled out until after the World Cup break. Diego Carlos is still a long way from returning after his Achilles injury.

Who are Aston Villa’s key players?

John McGinn is Villa’s inspirational captain, while Philippe Coutinho and Emiliano Buendia are a talented creative pairing behind star striker Oli Watkins. Lucas Digne was a January addition to the squad and the Frenchman was superb last season, particularly going forward where his dribbling and crossing created plenty of chances for his team-mates.

What are the Aston Villa odds to finish in the top six of the Premier League?

Aston Villa are 25/1 to finish in the top six of the Premier League this season. After a slow start to the season, Villa’s new boss will have his work cut out to catch the top teams – but this is a side packed with attacking talent who will surely climb the league soon.

Who is the manager of Aston Villa?

Aston Villa are on the hunt for a new manager after removing Steven Gerrard this week, following a slow start to the season. After 11 months in charge, the former Rangers boss and Liverpool legend’s time at Villa Park has come to an end. Former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is the current favourite to replace Gerrard, although Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel and Michael Beale are also thought to be on Villa’s shortlist.

Where is Aston Villa’s stadium?

Villa Park is located in Aston in Birmingham, and has been Villa’s home since 1897. With a capacity of over 42,000, its most iconic stand is the two-tiered Holte End behind one of the goals. Villa Park has hosted more FA Cup semi-finals than any other stadium, as well as being the venue for the last-ever European Cup Winners’ Cup final in 1999.
