Villa, who have had a disastrous start to the season, will be seeking revenge over the Bees after suffering a narrow 1-0 home defeat in the last clash between these two sides.
Emery's side sit 16th after picking up a single win in their opening five games whilst Brentford are the opposite end, sitting in 4th place despite grabbing three draws in what has also been a mixed start.
The Bees have drawn both of their Premier League away games this term and another stalemate could be on the cards as they come up against a Villa side desperate to turn the season around.
