The Premier League is back in action this Friday.
Who’s Playing
- Aston Villa @ Southampton
- Current Records: Aston Villa 3-6-1; Southampton 2-3-5
What to Know
This Friday, Aston Villa is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 1.9 goals per matchup. They and Southampton are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 4 p.m. ET on Friday at St. Mary’s Stadium. The teams split their matchups last year, with Southampton winning the first 4-3 on the road and the Lions taking the second 1-0.
The contest between Villa and West Ham United on Sunday was not a total blowout, but with Villa falling 4-1 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.
Meanwhile, after constant struggles on the road, Southampton has finally found some success away from home. They slipped by Watford 1-0 this past Saturday. The Southampton offense checked out after the first half but had enough goals banked to take the game anyway.
Southampton is 2-3-5 (11 points) and the Lions are 3-6-1 (ten points), so if Villa wins they will leapfrog Southampton in the standings.
