Sports Mole previews the Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Swansea City at Villa Park on Saturday.

Aston Villa welcome Swansea City to Villa Park on Saturday still looking for their first win under Paul Lambert.

The hosts will be buoyed by a much-improved performance in their 1-1 draw against Newcastle United before the international break.

Karim El Ahmadi is a doubt after picking up a calf strain in the game at the Sports Direct Arena. Richard Dunne and Marc Albrighton are also missing through injury.

Dwight Tiendalli could make his debut for the Swans after signing as a replacement for Neil Taylor, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a fractured ankle.

Kyle Bartley will also watch from the sidelines after suffering a thigh injury.

Chico Flores misses out after being sent off in the 2-2 draw against Sunderland.

Current form:

Villa: LLD
Swansea: WWD

Possible lineups:

Villa: Guzan; Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Lichaj; N'Zogbia, Holman, Ireland, Bannan; Weimann; Bent

Swansea: Vorm; Rangel, Monk, Williams, Tiendalli; Britton, De Guzman, Michu, Dyer, Routledge; Graham

Sports Mole says: 2-2
