Both teams will be looking to build on recent victories. After a poor run of results, Brighton have gotten back to winning ways, beating Chelsea and Wolves 4-1 and 2-3 respectively in their last two Premier League matches. They also beat Arsenal 1-3 in the League Cup on Wednesday. The Seagulls head into the weekend in 6th place in the table, having earned 6 wins and 3 draws from their opening 13 fixtures. Unai Emery’s first game in charge of Aston Villa was an impressive 3-1 win over Man Utd. However, they lost 4-2 when the same sides met in the League Cup on Thursday. Villa are also stuck in the lower half of the Premier League. Going into this round of matches they sit in 13th place, with just 15 points to their name. Villains goalkeeper Emi Martinez was able to return last weekend having recovered from a concussion. However, Phillippe Coutinho remains out with a thigh injury. Brighton will be without long-term absentee Jakub Moder. The visitors won this fixture last season, claiming a 0-2 victory back in February. Indeed they won both Premier League meetings between the two sides during the 2021/2022 season. However, much has changed at both clubs in the interim. Who can get the win this time around and go into the World Cup 2022 break on a positive note? Find out by watching the Brighton vs Aston Villa live stream.
