Aston Villa hosts Sheffield United at their Villa Park in the first leg of the season.
Willance has managed to secure a place in the Premier League - this season they have, at least, plans to stay among the giants.
Considering that the game will be played behind closed doors, support from the home stadium is a questionable thing, so in this regard, Aston Villa will not have any advantages.
In their last meeting, both teams played a goalless draw. I predict not too open game, I think the opponents will exchange goals - that's all.
