Aston Villa prepare to entertain Portsmouth at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Villans are clearly on top, having won 25 and lost only 6 of the 39 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Villa Park was less than a year ago, in December 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Premier League match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that Villans's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Portsmouth. Home Win
