THE PREDICTION

The fairy tale start to Villa’s Premier League campaign was due to end sooner or later and unfortunately for Villa fans, that day finally came as Dean Smith’s men lost 3-0 to Leeds. They now face a tough Southampton side who have hit a small run of form as of late, not losing since the second game of their season. And when Danny Ings isn’t scoring goals, he is busy setting them up, assisting both goals in Southampton’s 2-0 win over Everton last week. It will be a good game regardless of the result, and both sides will feel they have a chance of snatching all three points from this one, so expect goals from both sides and perhaps a draw.
