Having experienced very different fortunes in midweek, Aston Villa and the Premier League's rock-bottom side Southampton will clash at Villa Park on Saturday.
Aston Villa:
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa finally ended their winless run with a commanding 3-1 victory over Brentford midweek, moving up to seventh in the table. Morgan Rogers returned to form with a key goal, while Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash added to Villa’s tally, solidifying their reputation as a formidable force at home. Villa Park has become a fortress, with the Villans unbeaten in their last six home league games. Additionally, Emery's side boasts an unbeaten record in 11 Premier League matches against promoted teams under his tenure. With Southampton's struggles, Villa will look to maintain their momentum and push further up the standings.
Southampton:
Southampton’s dismal campaign hit another low after a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday. Russell Martin’s side remains rooted to the bottom of the table with just one league win all season and the worst defensive record in the league, having conceded 30 goals in 14 matches. Their away form is equally dire, as they are winless in 14 consecutive Premier League road games, losing 11 of those. With just one point since the last international break and a tough schedule ahead, including this daunting trip to Villa Park, Martin’s tenure appears under significant threat.
