Aston Villa caretaker coach Aaron Danks admits facing Brentford today will be a special moment for him.
Danks will take charge, supported by additional technical and coaching staff.
It comes after Thursday night's 3-0 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage led to the sacking Steven Gerrard.
Asked how important the home fans will be this weekend, Danks replied: “Humongous.
“I think that's the one thing everybody's feeling at the moment; we want to do this for the fans, we want to do this for the crowd.
“I'm a local lad, I know the area well, I'll have friends and family in all four corners of the stadium.
“They (the fans) will be huge for us, absolutely massive for us, and hopefully we can put something on the pitch they can be proud of and they can get behind on Sunday."
He also told AVTV: “We all know results and performances have not been to the levels we wanted; the players know that more than anybody.
“The message to them now is we have to move quickly, we have to reset our goals, reset our focus and get this club moving in a direction that we want it to.
“So, it's one of positivity, one that we have to move forward."
