Brighton will be seeking a return to winning ways when they get to host Aston Villa in their next match in the Premier League. These two sides have suffered defeats in their recent matches and have no doubt suffered dips in confidence. Hosts Brighton are ninth going into this game, with 33 points, while Aston Villa have 27 points, in 12th place. Heading into this game, Brighton suffered a shock 3-0 loss at home to Burnley, making it two straight defeats. They will be out to improve on a run that has seen them suffer three losses in five matches and register just one win. Their only win, which came against struggling Watford, also stands out as their only clean sheet in the last five matches. They’ve struggled a bit defensively, conceding two or more goals in three of their last five matches.

Aston Villa have faced two struggling sides in their recent matches, and lost both. Their most recent outing was against Watford, and it ended 1-0 in favor of the relegation threatened side. It has been a massive wake-up call for Villa the last five matches, and Steven Gerrard, having overseen some improvement since taking over, will want to bring out the character in his men. Villa go to this game having managed just one win and a clean sheet in the last five matches. Though they’ve struggled defensively, theirs hasn’t been as bad as Brighton’s. Villa have conceded less in their last five matches, but failing to score in the last two games will be a concern. In their last six meetings with Brighton, Villa have lost just once and registered three wins so will be looking to extend the same.
