Aston Villa host Southampton on Saturday in a huge six-pointer, and Dean Smith’s men have to pick up all three points to avoid dropping into the relegation zone.
Both teams have picked up just 15 points each from their opening 17 Premier League games of the season, and 17th-place Villa are only a place above the Saints on goal difference.
Weekend’s clash is huge for both sides, but Southampton have been dealt a massive injury blow that could boost Villa’s chances of getting a win.
As confirmed by Saints boss Ralph Hasenhüttl, Malian winger Moussa Djenepo is unavailable for selection for the Villa trip due to a hamstring injury.
