There are no plans for Aston Villa vs Southampton to be postponed, with #AVFC advising supporters to take extra care and time to travel to Villa Park this afternoon. Storm Darragh raging through Birmingham but conditions not as severe as in Liverpool.

If Aston Villa fail to beat Brentford tonight, #AVFC will go nine games without a win - and it will officially become the longest winless streak of Unai Emery's career. His previous longest (also eight) was with Valencia in 2009.

🚨 Exclusive: Aston Villa plan to recall Louie Barry from Stockport in January and loan him to the Championship instead. The winger has scored 13 goals in 17 League One games so far this season. Told Middlesbrough are keen. #AVFC #StockportCounty #Boro

Juventus were THIS close to opening the scoring through Francisco Conceicao, but Emiliano Martinez had other ideas. What an insane save from the #AVFC goalkeeper. 👏🧤

Name a Brighton player you were excited about signing but ultimately ended up disappointed with. #BHAFC I’ll start: Alireza Jahanbakhsh…
