Aston Villa host Brentford as part of Sunday’s Premier League TV schedule, with the Villans currently searching for a new manager after sacking Steven Gerrard in the week.
Villa’s 3-0 defeat at Fulham – plus the away support making it abundantly clear they wanted Gerrard gone – was the last straw for the club’s owners and the ex-Rangers boss was sacked on Thursday night.
Villa have won just twice in the Premier League this season and they’re outside the relegation zone on goals scored.
They welcome Thomas Frank’s Brentford on Sunday, a manager who is said to be on the shortlist to replace Gerrard at Villa Park.
Brentford have been a bit hit and miss in recent weeks, with Frank’s side winning two, drawing two and losing two of their last six league games.
They held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw on Wednesday night and Brentford will be hoping to pick up their first three points on the road this season.

Our prediction: Aston Villa v Brentford
Aston Villa’s players will be keen to bounce back after the disappointing Fulham defeat in the week, regardless of who’s in the dugout on Sunday.
Brentford will see this as a big opportunity to kick Villa while they’re down and take all three points at Villa Park.
It could be a cagey affair with little separating the sides.
Our prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford (6/1 at bet365)
