It's time for our Premier League predictions ahead of Luton Town vs Aston Villa in Saturday's late kick-off. Luton are without a win in their last six matches and hoping to avoid a fifth straight defeat in all competitions on Saturday evening.

We're predicting goals in this game but agree with the bookmakers that Aston Villa are the favourites and should come away with all three points in what is expected to be an end-to-end 90 minutes.

Player to watch – Ollie Watkins

Ollie Watkins top scores for Aston Villa this season with 14 league goals with his latest arriving in the 4-2 win over Nottingham Forest last weekend.

The England striker is in great form right now with five goals in his last six appearances in all competitions for Villa, which includes three goals in his last two Premier League games against Forest and Fulham both of which ended in victory for the Midlands club.

Ollie Watkins continues to produce for Unai Emery

We're backing Watkins to find the back of the net and help guide Aston Villa to another three points in what should be an action-packed 90 minutes at Kenilworth Road this weekend.
