Aston Villa will be looking to book their place in the Championship playoff final this evening when they take on West Bromwich Albion in the semi-finals.

Villa got the better of West Brom 2-1 at Villa Park in the first leg of their Championship semi-final tie this past Saturday.

The Villans had to come from a goal down to win against the Baggies, and Dean Smith’s side will be hoping to get the job done in the second leg at The Hawthorns this evening.

Villa will be confident of winning this evening, especially as West Brom are without the suspended Newcastle United-owned striker Dwight Gayle.

The Baggies, though, still have a strong attacking lineup, and the visiting team cannot get complacent.

If West Brom get the opening goal, especially early on in the match, then it is going to be quite tricky for Villa.
