Five wins from six Premier League matches has shot Aston Villa into Premier League title contention. The Villans are just one point off top spot in third place.

Villa notched back-to-back 1-0 home wins over Man City and Arsenal to show their title credentials. These impressive wins were followed by a 1-1 draw at Zrinjski and a 2-1 comeback victory against Brentford.

Unai Emery’s side were 1-0 down at half time at Brentford but responded with 1.47 expected goals. Alex Moreno and Ollie Watkins struck in the last 15 minutes to seal the win. 

Aston Villa Injuries & Team News


Defender Lucas Digne and midfielders Douglas Luiz and Boubacar Kamara are suspended.

Forwards Bertrand Traore and Emi Buendia and defender Tyrone Mings are ruled out. 

Sheffield United Form


Sheffield United are bottom of the Premier League after four defeats in five.
Chris Wilder has overseen one win and two defeats since his appointment in early December.

The Blades lost 2-0 against Liverpool and Chelsea and defeated Brentford (1-0) since Wilder’s return.

United were outplayed in the Chelsea loss on Saturday with just 0.44-3.27 expected goals. The Blades held on until half time before conceding two quickfire goals early in the second half. 

Sheffield United Injuries & Team News


Strikers Rhian Brewster and Dan Jebbison and midfielder Tom Davies are out.

Defensive trio Chris Basham, Rhys Norrington-Davies and John Egan are also out. 

Verdict

Aston Villa have beaten some top sides at home recently and the Villans are likely to dominate Sheffield United. Ollie Watkins is in top scoring form and can net again against the leaky Blades.
