The only English Premier League game on Friday will be between Aston Villa and Sheffield United. After 17 games, Aston Villa has 12 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses, a total of 38 points and 3rd place while Sheffield has 2 wins, 2 draws, 13 losses, a total of 8 points and the last, 20th position. In this game, I predict Aston Villa's win by at least a 2-goal margin.

Aston Villa has won the last 3 Premier League games which include 2 home wins against Manchester City and Arsenal. Last week, Villa came back after being down 0:1, the team scored 2 goals in 8 minutes and beat Brentford. Villa on Friday will play at home where they are the best this season in the league with 8 wins in 8 games, a total of 25 goals scored and just 5 conceded! Aston Villa has the 6th-best xG generated at home and the 5th-best xGA. Outside Arsenal and City games, Villa has won every single Premier League home game by at least a 2-goal margin.

Sheffield has only 1 win in the last 5 games and that was over Brentford at home but the xG's for both teams were similar. Sheffield is the worst road team in the Premier League as they have 1 draw in 8 games, with a total of 4 goals scored and 22 conceded! When Sheffield drew against Brighton, the opponents had a much better xG and 6 times more shots on goal. United has the worst generated xG on the road, the 3rd-worst xGA and the 2nd-worst xG difference.

Boubacar Kamara will serve a three-match suspension following his straight red card last weekend, but Douglas Luiz and Lucas Digne are both available to return from one-match bans. As for the visitors, Chris Basham, John Egan, Tom Davies, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Rhian Brewster and Daniel Jebbison all remain in the treatment room.

I don't think that Aston Villa will have big problems in this game. They are feasting at home while Sheffield struggles on the road and all but 2 losses have been by at least 2 goals but those 2 games were at the start of the season. Villa can't afford to lose points because they are 1 point away from the 1st-place City so I expect a huge game from the hosts.

周五唯一的英超比赛将是阿斯顿维拉和谢菲尔德联队之间的比赛。17场比赛后，阿斯顿维拉12胜2平3负，积38分排名第3，谢菲尔德2胜2平13负，积8分排名倒数第20。在这场比赛中，我预测阿斯顿维拉将以至少2球的优势获胜。

阿斯顿维拉赢得了最近3场英超比赛，其中包括2场主场战胜曼城和阿森纳。上周，维拉在0比1落后的情况下反败为胜，球队在8分钟内打进2球，击败了布伦特福德。维拉周五将在主场比赛，他们是本赛季联赛中表现最好的球队，8场比赛8胜，共进25球，只丢5球!阿斯顿维拉在主场产生的xG排名第六，xGA排名第五。除了对阿森纳和曼城的比赛，维拉在英超的每一场主场比赛中都以至少2球的优势获胜。

谢菲尔德在过去的5场比赛中只赢了1场，而且是在主场战胜布伦特福德，但两支球队的xG值是相似的。谢菲尔德是英超最差的客场球队，他们8场比赛1平，进4球丢22球!当谢菲尔德战平布莱顿时，对手有更好的射门和6倍的射门。曼联在客场产生的xG是最差的，xGA是第三差，xG差是第二差。

布巴卡尔·卡马拉在上周末被直接红牌罚下后将停赛三场，但道格拉斯·路易斯和卢卡斯·迪涅都可以在停赛一场后复出。至于来访者，克里斯·巴沙姆、约翰·伊根、汤姆·戴维斯、里斯·诺林顿-戴维斯、瑞恩·布鲁斯特和丹尼尔·杰比森都留在了治疗室。

我不认为阿斯顿维拉在这场比赛中会有大问题。他们在主场享受盛宴，而谢菲尔德在客场苦苦挣扎，除了2场失利外，他们所有的比赛都至少落后2球，但这2场比赛都是在赛季开始的时候。维拉不能丢分，因为他们与第一名曼城只差1分，所以我期待主队能打出一场精彩的比赛。
