West Brom v Aston Villa (Hawthorns, 2000 GMT, Sky Sports Main Event)

Friday night football has all the ingredients to be a real Christmas cracker as West Brom welcome Aston Villa to the Hawthorns.

Both sides have highlighted their attacking capabilities in recent weeks, and given the fact that Aston Villa drew 5-5 less than two weeks ago, there is every chance of a high-scoring encounter here.

The Baggies are set for their second televised appearance in the space of five days, and they will be hoping for a better result after a late equaliser denied them all three points against struggling Brentford.

In Aston Villa though, they face an opponent full of confidence since Dean Smith's arrival and they convincingly beat Middlesbrough 3-0 at the Riverside on Saturday night.

It's no surprise to see Villa top of the form charts with 17 goals in their last five games. West Brom aren't far behind though, with ten points gained from a possible 15.

This is set to be an open, entertaining game given how both sides possess quality in attack and I doubt either will be happy to sit back and take a point.
