A<\/span> 2-0 win over Cardiff City in the fifth round of the FA Cup and then a 3-1 result against Club Brugge in the first leg of the Champions League round <\/span>of<\/span> 16. <\/span>Aston Villa <\/span>are<\/span> peaking at the right time and <\/span>are<\/span> fighting for multiple trophies.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, things aren\u2019t the same in the domestic league as the Villans are 10th on the points table. <\/span>They will <\/span>next<\/span> lock horns with Brentford in an away package <\/span>this weekend<\/span>.<\/span> Unai Emery\u2019s side would want to clinch a win before going into important clashes next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defence<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Emiliano Martinez<\/a> made an important save in the dying minutes to keep a clean sheet. He will be donning the gloves as usual. While Matty Cash takes onto the field as the right-back, Ian Maatsen should be called up to take the left full-back position.<\/span><\/p>\n

Axel Disasi, who <\/span>was used as the left-back<\/span> in the previous game, could <\/span>be used as centre-back<\/span> alongside Ezri Konsa. <\/span>It<\/span> means that Tyrone Mings and Lucas Digne will have to warm the bench.<\/span><\/p>\n

Midfield<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The midfield duo of John McGinn and Youri Tielemans<\/a> has worked quite well for Unai Emery <\/span>in recent times<\/span>. He will hesitate to alter anyone in the middle of the park for this game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attack<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Marco Asensio might find his name on the starting XI list this weekend. He could be operating on the right flank with Morgan Rogers<\/a> taking the load of the centre areas. Jacob Ramsey should be providing his services from the left wing with Ollie Watkins being the striker and leading the offensive line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Marcus Rashford will have to bench the bench but can come in the latter stages of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Villans have only two absentees <\/span>in the form of<\/span> Ross Barkley (knee) and Amadou Onana (thigh).<\/span><\/p>\n
