High-flying Aston Villa will look to continue their push for European football when they take on a Brentford side who might have "hit the beach" with their Premier League survival already assured.
Unai Emery has worked wonders since taking charge at Villa Park and his side are playing with the confidence and quality to claim victory at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.

Despite their recent struggles, Brentford are 7/5 favourites to claim the three points on home turf this weekend, while Villa are 9/5 to head back to the West Midlands with the spoils. The draw is currently available at 12/5.
Team news
Brentford have their injury problems with Kristoffer Ajer and Keane Lewis-Potter both set to miss the weekend's game, while a thigh injury has brought an end to Pontus Jansson's time with the Bees before he moves to Malmo this summer.
Jansson has already bid the Brentford fans thank you and farewell as he prepares for a move back to his homeland and to his beloved boyhood club Malmo.
As for Villa, Leon Bailey's hamstring injury means he will miss the trip to the capital, however Boubacar Kamara and Philippe Coutinho could both feature after recent issues.

Aston Villa to win @ 9/5
Unbeaten in eight and on a five-game winning run, the Villans are the form side in the Premier League at the moment.
In contrast, Brentford enjoyed a strong start to the campaign, but Thomas Frank's side have tailed off in recent weeks.
Five games without a win, losing their last three, the Bees' positive season is running the risk of going out with a whimper.
Villa have the form and confidence to win this weekend and complete a league double over the Bees after a 4-0 success against them at Villa Park earlier this season.
Looking at the Correct Score markets, this game could well have plenty of goals and a 3-1 scoreline in favour of Villa is available at 22/1.

#PickYourPunt - Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney to both score anytime @ 11/2
For two players who are battling for further recognition with England, Saturday provides an interesting head-to-head between strikers Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney.
Watkins' form has been outstanding of late, with manager Emery getting the most out of the former Bees star.
Scoring in all of Villa's last four games, Watkins can add to his tally of 14 Premier League goals this weekend, while penalty expert Toney could also get on the scoresheet.
Toney has 18 goals to his name already in the Premier League this term and can add to the goal he scored against Villa last season on Saturday.
