Aston Villa and Southampton will face off in the Premier League this week. The game will take place at Villa Park and is scheduled to start on Friday at 8pm UK time.

AstonVilla

Aston Villa are currently struggling in the Premier League and are in real danger of being relegated to the Championship at the end of the season. Steven Gerrard's side are currently 17th in the table with four points from six games, level on points with 18th-placed West Ham United. Nottingham Forest, who won promotion from the Championship at the end of last season, also have four points from six games and are second from bottom of the table.

Villa will head into the match against Southampton at Villa Park in the Premier League after a 1-1 draw with Manchester City at Villa Park in the League. This followed a 2-1 loss to Arsenal away at the Emirates Stadium in north London in the league.

Team News:

Aston Villa will be without injured defender Diego Carlos. Matty Cash is also on the sidelines at the moment with a hamstring issue. Ashley Young could replace Cash at right-back, which means Philippe Coutinho and Danny Ings could be on the substitute bench.

Southampton

Like Aston Villa, Southampton are not doing well in the Premier League at the moment. The Saints are currently 12th in the table with seven points from six matches, just three points above the bottom three. Ralph Hasenhüttl's side risk being dragged into the relegation battle and will need to step up their game in the weeks and months to come.

Southampton will head into the game against Aston Villa at Villa Park in the Premier League following a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium in the league. This followed a 2-1 win over Chelsea at St. Mary's Stadium in the Premier League.

Team News:

Ainsley Maitland-Niles could start for Southampton against Aston Villa. The Englishman, who can also operate as a full-back or a midfielder, joined Villans from Arsenal on loan during the summer transfer window.

Key Factors to Consider Aston Villa have scored 5 goals in 6 Premier League appearances. Aston Villa have conceded 10 goals in 6 Premier League matches. Southampton have scored 7 goals in 6 Premier League games. Southampton have conceded 10 goals in 6 Premier League games. Aston Villa have lost 4 of their last 5 Premier League games. Conclusion

Neither Aston Villa nor Southampton are doing particularly well at the moment, and there's a chance the two sides could cancel each other out. A draw is the most likely outcome in this game.
