Our prediction: Aston Villa v Southampton
Despite Villa’s 3-0 thumping to Leeds last time out, Sunday’s hosts are more than capable of responding here.
Villa have been emphatic going forward this season – buoyed of course by the 7-2 triumph over Liverpool. And they will look to take the game to Southampton, who themselves aren’t scared of bombing forward in search of a goal.
The game could come down to how James Ward-Prowse and Oriol Romeu marshal the midfield, with Grealish likely to carry Villa’s attacks into the final third. A high-scoring draw would not be a shock here.
