THE PREDICTION

It has been a really bright start for Aston Villa after their relegation struggles last season and after two wins to start the campaign combined with some excellent signings to bolster the squad, the mood in the camp is excellent. They face a tough test against the champions who are playing some excellent football themselves right now as the win and display against Arsenal was exceptional on Monday. They expect to win every game they play right now and it is impossible to bet against them, but Villa may keep this close. Expect Dean Smith’s men to keep it close enough to avoid losing by more than a one-goal margin.
