Aston Villa host Leeds United on Friday evening, as Dean Smith’s side look to keep up their perfect start to the season, making it five victories on the bounce.
A win would take Villa to the top of the Premier League table for the first time since October 2001, giving them a huge incentive to pick up all three points.
Here’s how we think Smith will line-up his team at Villa Park…
| # | Team | P | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  ARS | 38 | +44 | 85 |
| 2 |  MCI | 38 | +42 | 78 |
| 3 |  MUN | 38 | +19 | 71 |
| 4 | AVL | 38 | +7 | 65 |
| 5 |  LIV | 38 | +10 | 60 |
| 6 |  BOU | 38 | +4 | 57 |
| 7 |  SUN | 38 | -6 | 54 |
