Aston Villa 17/10 to win against Stoke City this afternoon

Competition: Premier League
Market: Aston Villa to win against Stoke City
Odds: 17/10 @ Bet 365

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood takes charge of his first game with the club, with the ex-Tottenham head coach having replaced sacked Paul Lambert earlier this month. Villa are in a precarious position in the league, and have a tricky clash against Stoke City this afternoon that could see them struggle.

The Claret and Blues did win against Mark Hughes’ men earlier in the campaign, so they will have some confidence of a result, especially following the change in manager. Sherwood has promised to make big changes, and appears keen to make his mark on the side by dropping players he deems not good enough for the club.

Aston Villa are in desperate need for a result. The Midlands club have gone 10 Premier League games without a win, and they have scored just two goals in such time too. It led to the sacking of Lambert, and now a survival task is the sole objective for Sherwood.

But with renewed confidence and a reported spring in the step from the players at training, Bet 365 are giving odds of 17/10 for the Villans to get all three points against City to haul themselves out of the bottom three.
