Villa, celebrating their 150th anniversary this season, are one place above The Bees in the Premier League table after an inconsistant few months, but most will consider The Villans favourites when looking at the quality in their squad and having boosted the side in January with Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio joining on loan to good effect. Brentford are unsure of the fitness situation with Christian Norgaard and Kevin Schade going into the match.

Billy ‘the Bee’ Grant and Dave ‘Laney’ Lane hook up in the Virtual Joint to chew the fat over this weeken’s match, as well as looking back to the clashes with Everton and Leicester City, where Bees fans contrasting performances.
