Aston Villa host Brentford in the third round of the new Premier League season on Saturday afternoon in Birmingham.
Brentford will try and maintain their unbeaten record at the beginning of their first top-flight campaign in 74 years, following impressive displays against London rivals Arsenal and Crystal Palace in the opening two rounds.
Thomas Frank’s squad were popular for their attacking-minded style in the Championship, but the Danish manager seems to have completely shifted the focus since joining the elite class.
Brentford are thus yet to concede a goal in the Premier League, going into this third-round fixture against Aston Villa.
The Bees could have easily grabbed a maximum of six points from the inaugural two outings, but they were unlucky not to convert one of numerous decent chances last weekend at Crystal Palace.
Brentford’s back line will, however, be seriously tested this time around as Aston Villa’s summer signing Danny Ings threatens to score in his third successive appearance for the Lions.

本周六下午,阿斯顿维拉在伯明翰主场迎战布伦特福德,这是新赛季的第三轮比赛。
在前两轮对阵阿森纳和水晶宫的比赛中,布伦特福德队表现出色,他们将努力保持74年来首个顶级联赛的不败纪录。
托马斯-弗兰克的球队在英冠中以进攻风格而广受欢迎,但这位丹麦教练似乎在加入精英阶层后已经完全转移了注意力。
布伦特福德在第三轮对阵阿斯顿维拉的比赛中还没有失球。
在前两场比赛中,蜜蜂队本可以轻松拿下最多6分,但他们很不幸,上周末在水晶宫的比赛中,他们没有抓住一个不错的机会。
然而,布伦特福德的后防线这次将受到严峻的考验,因为阿斯顿维拉夏季签下的丹尼·英格斯有可能在他连续三次代表狮子出战的比赛中进球。
