On Saturday, Southampton host Aston Villa for Matchday 21 of the Premier League. Both teams aim for the first half of the table.
Southampton is having a very honourable season and is now 11th in the Premier League with 29 points taken in 19 games. Less to their advantage in recent weeks, the Saints have only won against Liverpool (1-0) in the last 7 days, for 3 draws and 3 defeats. They remain on 2 losses conceded to Leicester (2-0) and against Arsenal this week (1-3). Last weekend, Southampton composted its ticket for the 8th finals of the FA Cup by dominating, at home, Arsenal (1-0).
Much more convincing than in the previous year, Aston Villa is currently 10th in the Premier League and has, with 1 game less, the same number of points as its opponent of the day. After a thunderous start to the championship, the Villans have recently come down in the standings. They had to face a complicated schedule with a draw at Chelsea (1-1) and two losses conceded on the lawns of Manchester United (2-1) and Manchester City (2-0). Since then, Birmingham-based training has won against Newcastle (2-0) before losing to Burnley this week (3-2).
Southampton is being wiped out by injuries at the moment. This weekend, the coach has to do without the defensive captain Verstergaard, the important Romeu and Djenepo, the summer rookie Salisu and the usual substitutes Smallbone, Redmond, Obafemi and Tella. On the other hand, he can count on the return of suspension of the side frame Ryan Bertrand. Forward Danny Ings is the club’s top scorer in the league with 7 goals.
For Aston Villa, Brazilian striker Wesley and substitute defender Hause are still injured on Saturday. All 2 scorers this week in the league, England international Grealish and striker Watkins are well available. Former Lyonnais Traoré should complete the attacking trio.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
During the first leg, Southampton won on the lawn of Aston Villa (3-4).
In his den, Southampton will have to work but can avoid defeat to Aston Villa this weekend. Southampton victory or draw!
