Aston Villa
The local team comes to this game in eleventh place in the league with 28 points, the result of eight wins, four draws and ten losses, two of them consecutively in their most recent performances, which puts additional pressure on the team to this game.
Those led by Unai Emery come from losing 3-1 once morest Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in a match where they were widely outclassed by their rival, mainly in the first half, since for the second half they improved their performance with the entry of players like Philippe Coutinho and Jhon Jáder Durán, who would crash a ball off the crossbar late in the game.
Regarding this change that the team showed with these substitutions, the Spanish coach is expected to make some modifications to the starting 11 that might provide him with a more balanced approach as he faces a rival who is in contention for the title.
