If we don't win the Forest match, I'm genuinely intrigued to know what's gonna happen in this match. Brentford are playing Brighton before us, two hard fixtures for them. Hopefully they'll think of Brighton as the team they can get a hope of getting something.
Don't get me wrong, Brentford are a class side, I just think their signing quality could've been a bit better. They've thought too much about the future and not enough about the present, their push for promotion. As a Brentford fan I'd be ecstatic with the signing of Rico Henry, but honestly, a League 1 side can't win you games in the championship.
It all depends on the Forest result for us and the team and result they get from their Brighton match. If they start a rotation side against Brighton, we've got something to worry about. If we lose the Forest game, we could potentially lose this one also.
Still, I know it's a bit early, but I'm predicting a 1-0 Villa. I could be completely wrong though.
