Aston Villa have a club record in their sights as they prepare to face Millwall in the Championship this afternoon (Monday).
The Lions make the trip to Villa Park for a lunchtime kick off, with Villa in red hot form with nine wins in a row in the second tier, which has taken them into the play-off positions in the Championship.
But ahead of the game, Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has given a warning to Dean Smith's side about the Lions, who are three points above the relegation zone with four games left to play.

"Dean Smith struggled to get the best of this Villa side when he took over in October, but in the last few months, he's taken them from mid-table mediocrity to fifth in the Championship table, aided by the club-record equalling nine-match winning streak they are currently in the midst of," he said, in his regular predictions feature for the Sky Sports website.
"The Lions - who do still have a game in hand - are fighting for their lives at the other end of the standings and will be a tough nut to crack.
