Aston Villa v West Brom Odds :All eyes on Bent to fire Villains to victory
Another local derby takes place this weekend in the Premier League as Aston Villa host West Bromwich Albion at Villa Park, as Paddy Power announce a new free bets offer and report all the money has come in for Villa hitman Darren Bent to find the net first at 5/1.
The two sides have similar ambitions for the campaign as they are looking to get to the all important 40-point mark as soon as possible, and then see what they can achieve.
However, it is the away team that come into this one in better spirits as they currently occupy a place in the top four.
As for Aston Villa, it has been an incredibly inconsistent start to life under Paul Lambert for them. After picking up their first victory against Swansea, many expected the Villains to really kick-start their campaign.
However, they then went down 4-1 at Southampton – so it is difficult to know what to expect this time out. If results don’t go their way this weekend, Villa could find themselves in the bottom three by the time they kick-off.

After an impressive win at Manchester City in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday though, they should come into this one with some confidence.
West Brom will be delighted with how they have gone about their business so far this season. They already sit on ten points and are playing some excellent football at the same time.
Steve Clarke seems to be proving himself as a manager and he will send his side out to take all three points in this one.
Romelu Lukaku is likely to start his second game for the Baggies after grabbing the winning goal against Reading last time out. Lukaku looks to be showing that he is more than capable of playing in the top flight.
Both of the fixtures between these two rivals last season saw a sending off, so we could be in for a fiery encounter. It all gets underway from 4PM.
