Whenever Nottingham Forest are at home they are difficult to beat, but I don't think Aston Villa are finding it difficult against anyone at the moment.
Unai Emery's side are playing with such confidence as well as being so well set-up. They score a lot of goals, and it is going to be hard for Forest to stop them.
I remember that Stephen Warnock backed Villa to make the top four at the start of the season and in all honesty I was thinking that was a stretch, but it isn't looking such a bad shout now.
Forest have gone six games without a win, although they have drawn four of them.
That's seen them slip down the table but I don't see them getting dragged into the relegation battle. Compared to the teams below them, they have got more than enough to stay up.
Sutton's prediction: 0-2
Aston Villa
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery on Emiliano Martinez winning the Yashin Trophy: "Martinez, as a person, is very competitive in all of his career and when he came here to the Premier League 12 years ago, progressively he is improving a lot.
"His mentality is very brilliant, always he wants to improve individually and collectively with the team.
"I was with him in Arsenal before and I knew always that he wanted to get something important. To get this award is magnificent for him and we can be proud of him."
Chris Kent: There’s a lot of criticism about Bruno being Utd captain, but I can’t think of anyone in that team that would be a good replacement. Long gone are the days when we had several captains on the pitch.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery on Alex Moreno's injury: "He is progressively getting better and is training with the team, not competitively, but he is close to being available to play and maybe can be available on Sunday."
Aston Villa
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery on a strong start to the season: "I have to be in good balance when we are winning and losing, I have to be clinical in my analyse of how we can improve.
"I don't want this to stop, I want the progression to continue and we want to win every match.
"We want to connect with our supporters and win for them. We want to go to big places but it's important to focus in every match."
Manchester City
Manchester City women's boss Gareth Taylor has confirmed defender Alex Greenwood will miss his side's match with Arsenal on Sunday.
Greenwood sustained a head injury in England's defeat by Belgium in the Women's Nations League.
The defender was treated for almost 12 minutes on the pitch after clashing heads with Belgium forward Jassina Blom in Leuven on Tuesday.
"We’ve gone through all the necessary protocols that come with these types of head injuries," Taylor said in his press conference this afternoon.
"Of course she won’t be available for the weekend and we’ll make sure that her return to a playing timeframe is managed in the right way.
"I think it was a nasty blow first and foremost. There was a lot of concern regarding Alex at that moment.
"She’s due to see a specialist next week so we’ll know more [about a return date] when the experts have assessed her."
Whenever West Ham lose a couple of games, you hear the usual rumblings from the same old people, asking if manager David Moyes should still be in the job.
It drives me potty. Moyes has done brilliantly and a spell of poor form doesn't change that.
Brentford went through a bit of a sticky patch themselves recently, with four defeats in seven games, but they are flying at the moment.
The Bees got a big win against Chelsea last week and, as I've said before, they are so well balanced and well organised.
I was tempted to go for another draw here, but I am actually going to go for Brentford to edge it.
They beat the Hammers 2-0 home and away in the league last year, so I have picked the same scoreline again.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0
SMS Message: Man United should stick with Erik Ten Hag and back him by giving him some quality players to work with instead of some of these older big ego "Has Beens" and a few others who think they are something special but in reality their performances show they are very average and lucky to be playing for a big club. from Tony, Utd supporter since 1968.
West Ham United
West Ham manager David Moyes on Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag: "There is nobody stepping in because Ten Hag is there.
"As long as he has good support from the board, and it sounds like he does, then it's only speculation.
"At United you have to win games, it's a big part of the job.
On whether managers are starting to take more criticism: "It has always been directed at managers. Most of the time we are talking about managers losing their jobs and not players losing their jobs.
"Being at United is a pressure job, you're expected to win and win in style. I think Erik ten Hag has done a lot of really good things but I have to focus on West Ham."
Brentford
Brentford manager Thomas Frank on facing West Ham: "West Ham are a very good side. They’ve had a good start to the season and did excellently in the transfer market this summer with [Edson] Alvarez and [Mohammed] Kudus, who is a fantastic player.
"We trust ourselves and believe that if we top perform we have a good chance."

Brentford
Brentford manager Thomas Frank on goalkeeper Mark Flekken: "Any player in the world needs confidence; you get that from training well, knowing your own abilities, and good performances in games.
"It was nice to get two clean sheets but for me the performances in both were very good. I’m sure he’s on an upwards trajectory."
Brentford
SMS Message: It's difficult to know what United's football style is because the players don't execute it properly. Half hearted pressing is worse than not pressing at all. And we make far too many individual mistakes, which you can't really mitigate if you're the manager. That's the players responsibility from Luke
